For me, menopause started with the first chemo. I felt it a blessing not to have to deal with the monthly stuff. I also couldn't tell the symptoms from the side effects.:) My oncologist would have had a fit but I actually took a razer to my face because there was sooo much hair. Luckily it mostly disappeared after. There are still always a couple to annoy me though. I asked for a really good pair of tweezers for Christmas and my daughter gave me Tweezerman. Oh Yeah!
