Hi, I had my post stem cell transplant check up today and was told I’ve likely gone into menopause. The plan is to refer me to a different hospital and they'd likely start me on HRT. I’m only 26 so was wondering if any one of a similar age has gone through this and could tell me about their experience? Or if anyone knows where I could find more information as everything I’ve found so far is about menopause in general or really vague.
Hi Meg27
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community. It must have been difficult to hear that you're likely to now be in the menopause after your stem cell transplant.
I haven't had this treatment but thought I'd suggest that you also post this in the stem cell transplants group, which I can see that you've joined, as you'll then connect directly with others who have had the same type of treatment.
When you have time, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
