Bleeding whist on Tamoxifen

Going through breast cancer treatment Hormone therapy
1

Hi All

Hope you have all had a good Christmas!

I have come back on here as I have had a bleed, which started this morning. The same happened last Summer when I was referred for a Hysteoscopy which found an ovarian cyst. The consultant at the time wrote in the letter to my GP to do a CA125 blood test in 6 months time as well as tests to see if I am in the menopause. 

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019 when I had a mastectomy, radiotherapy and put on Letrozole and zoladex. I came off letrozole and zoladex about a year ago as I could not tolerate it. 

the worry is the bleed I am currently experiencing. I didn’t have a bleed from 2019-summer of 2021. Could it be the cysts. It may not have gone away. 

I would really appreciate some advice or if anyone as been through yet same thing. Just to ease my mind. 

thank you for listening xx

Hi , sorry you have this worry . Are you on Tamoxifen - it’s not clear from your post . I think things can be pretty unpredictable when you come off hormone suppressing medication for a while . If you are on Tamoxifen it can affect your womb lining  and causes changes that can cause bleeding - these need to be checked out to make sure they are not something that needs treatment .
