TNBC at 43, period has returned

Seriously. If there was even ONE upside to treatment, it was losing my period and being told by *every single doctor* "oh you were for sure in Perimenopause, your period won't come back after".

I hated going through menopause/chemopause, but I got hit with it hard and fast and then it was over, and I breathed a sigh of relief "ah thank goodness that's done, and no more period!!"

I finished chemo 10 months ago, I'm 44 now, and my period came back HARD. I was TNBC and achieved NED, so I'm not on any post-treatment meds or hormone blockers. I'm soaking through Ultra tampons every 1-2 hours. I've had it for 11 days now, and it's not easing-up. I had 3 weeks of spotting before that. Yes I spoke to my Oncologist about how severe it is, we're at the "let's monitor it" stage.

BUT COME ON! Now it means that at some point in the future, I get to go through Menopause all over again from the beginning. My one silver lining, dashed all to shit.

/rant over. Thanks to you lovely ladies for listening ❤️
