The younger you are when having treatment, particularly if you are under 35, there more likely it is that your periods will return. It&#8217;s difficult to predict exactly when this may happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes periods come back at the end of treatment or it may be months or occasionally a few years after chemotherapy has finished. If your periods do return, you may go through the menopause up to 5 &#8211; 20 years sooner than you would have done if you hadn&#8217;t had chemotherapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rftcjapan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/PINK-SNS-QA.006-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Breast Cancer Care\u2019s experts answer your questions about breast cancer and its treatment PiNK 2019 Winter p.12 Will My Period Return?
