Temodar And Women/Menopause

Hello All,

First post here, my wife is on Temodar for an Anaplastic Astrocytoma. She had a crainiotomy and radiation, and is now on the once a month Temodar. Have any of the ladies here noticed or heard of Temodar bringing on Menopause early? (She is 42)

Thank You,

Jeff & Brenda

The answer is yes - it can bring forward the onset of menopause.   It is one of the fairly typical symptoms.

Jeff, I'm no medical professional,but it seems like I've heard that most if not all chemotherapy drugs can cause early onset menopause.

Best of luck to you both,

Barb
