Your period came back over year from the end of treatment? My treatment ended near the end of September. November I had a maybe period or spotting, it's really hard to figure it out, and nothing since. So, this could very well be temporary, I hope...I think...ack, I don't know. But I also have to consider getting…

My periods of hot flashes seem to come and go and right now I'm getting them but they're much shorter in duration and not very severe. Thank god for that. For me, the suckiest thing of this is the vaginal atrophy. This is the thing that has reduced me to tears more than everything else combined. But I'm working on…

Thank you for this reminder. It just made me feel a whole lot better. :-)

There's no snark at all intended in my post. In fact, I'm wondering if the OP is being snarky about Jolie's decision. Because if the OP had said these words to me as someone who's artificially in menopause TO SAVE MY LIFE, I would have ripped her a new one. Yeah, menopause sucks, but being fatalistic about it is…

My comment or the OP's comment?

Yikes! I'm very glad I don't see it this way. If I did I'd probably go into a deep depression due to my chemo-induced very early menopause. Oh, and I'm also very glad my sister also doesn't see it this way. She, younger than me, had a total hysterectomy (in two stages, due to the hope of saving her ovaries) because…

Per a recent Twitter/Instagram photo Izzard shared, it looks like they're incorporating Rebecca Nurse into this. Awesome. I'm a descendant and love seeing ( a version of this) history (even this insanely horrible history) come to life.

Twizzlers?! Blech! But I'll do a Red Vines challenge any day.

Amen! I can't stand Jimmy. He's just such a big ole obnoxious frat boy. He's a talented frat boy, but still a frat boy. Seth is so sweet and charming and neurotic and very, very self-aware. I adore him.

And how about Billy Connolly? A national treasure!

I'm Stage II IDC as well. I'll be on tamoxifen for 10 years too (it's the new protocol), unless we decide to suppress or remove the ovaries and then I think I switch to a aromatase inhibitor.

You're doing Lupron and tamoxifen? I wonder why you weren't switched to an aromatase inhibitor? And yeah, I'm being treated as BRCA positive until there's enough conclusive evidence that my mutation is not a deleterious one. Oh, I forgot about the added difficulty of losing weight when you're in menopause. Argh! …

Agreed. And because I've attended some events at Gilda's Club here in NYC, my eyes teared up every time clips of her were shown. I'm very sad that she left us so early, but my tears were of gratitude. I'm thankful for all that she gave the world through her comedic gifts and to those of us who've needed a place to…

I'm contemplating having, at the very least, my ovaries out because I had breast cancer treatment and now they carefully monitor my ovaries and uterus. My ovaries due to a weird genetic mutation that's probably not BRCA and uterus because the tamoxifen thickens the uterine wall and makes you more susceptible to…

Co-signed. It's not like a pleasant radiating heat comes over your body. Instead it feels like a sudden fever hits you and it comes with slight nausea. All I can do is sit still and strip off clothes and just reassure myself that it will pass in a few minutes. It really sucks. Mine double-y sucked because it was…

Yup, I'll stick to Broadway and alternative folk music.

Oh lord yes. I can't bare listening to her because she can't get a discernible word of her mouth. How does she have a career?

Are you vegan? If so, your post and its "arguments" would then make a whole lot more sense.

And this post at 1:30 pm EST in reply to my initial one DID acknowledge that:

Too late to edit my initial post, but oops... I missed that last paragraph of the article. I'm very glad to hear that the character had considered abortion early on. That would be pretty intellectually dishonest otherwise.
