hi I was diagnosed with stage 3c breast cancer in apr 2012. I had all the chemo surgery, radiation. my oncologist how ever never did the test that shows where you are in menopause. my current oncologist did and I am not near it yet even tho I am 53. I have been on Tomoxifen for years. now I am experiencing abnormal bleeding. WTF? why didn t I get the menopause test b4 I was put on it? I just found out today I am not near menopause. and I should have never been but on this drug.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, menopause is not he disease but this is physiological phenomenon and so there is no specific test for this to confirm it, but of course you can see the gynecologist for this, oncologist wont do anything here, hope this information helps, take care.
I find this answer helpful
