I agree with bluebutterfly to see a Gynecologist so he/she can order a test regarding menopause.
I would also like to add that most women over the age of 45 who receive chemotherapy such as yours, will become amenorrheic (meaning that menstrual periods will stop). For many, this cessation of menstrual periods will represent permanent menopause but a minority will have return of menstruation either regular or irregular in the future.I have read that some women restarted menstruation 2 years or more after completing Chemotherapy.
I am also glad to know that you finished all your treatments and I wish you continued good health! :)
Take care...

I am glad to hear you completed your treatment for TNBC and that your followups have all been normal!
However, you did not indicate whether you have seen a GYN or had tests done specifically to determine your status in regard to menopause. (Those tests wouuld NOT be part of the usual followup for BC survivors.) If you have not discussed this issue with a gynecologist, that would be the place to start.
Best wishes for continued NED (no evidence of disease)!
