I'm just starting this phase of life. Missed periods, double periods. My Mom and Grama went through menopause at early ages 38 and 48. My Mom got breast cancer at 50 (maybe they had given her medicine for menopause - I'll have to ask). I didn't know they were related. She is a 35 year survivor with only 2 relapses, one of the first to have a lumpectomy as part of research.
I don't know what I'm in for, and really don't understand why I have to go through it. I know it's a fact of life, but still don't we have enough to endure? I'm a little afraid of it as I already have bipolar illness, I wonder how it will affect me.
