I fished chemo in February 2013 and my period stopped after my first treatment in November 2012. Had left mastectomy and lymph nodes removed and 5 weeks of daily radiation finishing in June 2013. I have been on tamoxifen since 2013. Today my period started and I don’t know whether to be worried or not. I had blood drawn on Wednesday for a regular checkup on August 31 (I get b12 shot every month so they went ahead and drew blood even though my dr appt isn’t for another 2 weeks). Should I call Monday or just wait and see what happens and discuss it with my dr in 2 weeks? Thanks!!

When I started the chemo I think it was on my 4th one my period stopped, have been on tamoxifen now for just over 3 & 1/2 years, about 5 months ago my period came back then stopped again, was getting a bit worried about this, so had mammogram last week, asked my consultant if this is normal, he said it was alright, it’s just you constantly do worry about it coming back again, I am on tamoxifen for 10 years, few side affects but can cope a lot better than at the beginning, was cracking up, I find just now suffer from tiredness, a little joint pain, and the odd flush, but try stick to your same brand, as there are different ingredients in them, do not let the pharmacist tell you any different, it is not them that is on them, the teva brand I find is the better one for me but we all are different, sometimes the teva brand they stop making it, then it appears again, just get your chemist get them for you.?
