Extremely heavy period

Good evening, I’m wondering if anyone has had experience of extremely heavy periods during chemotherapy treatment? I have rang the emergency line who have told me it’s up to me but if I feel like it’s getting too bad to go to A&E to get checked out (no other adverse signs like vomiting, temp etc). However, the thought of going to A&E at 8pm on a Friday night is too much for me at the moment. I didn’t really get the answers I was looking for on the line (I kind of feel like go to a&e is a cop out) but just wondering if anyone has had any experience of this?

I experienced this myself 28 years ago. It will settle down soon.
