Hi everyone. I am 27 and finished treatment, chemo, rads etc in May 2009. I have been on Tamoxifen for a year now with no problems. My periods returned almost immediately and I have had them regularly for about 6 months. 2 or 3 moths ago they just disappeared again. Has anyone else had this? I am worried that it is a sign of ovarian cancer or something like that? I am definitely not pregnant. Can anyone give any advice? I have just been for a check up and don’t have another due till Nov.
Hello Bubbliejubblies,
I haven’t started Tamoxifen yet, but went on a Young Women’s Forum at the weekend and it sounds as though it’s very usual for periods to come and go and be completely irregular. There was one girl who had hers continuously, some who were quite regular, some whose came and disappeared and then came back again, and some whose had stopped completely. The fertility lady told us not to read anything into it re fertility too. I don’t think we’ll know what’s going on for sure until all of the drugs are done with!
I’m sure there’ll be someone with personal experience popping along soon to help out!!
Obviously run it by your GP/onc just to double check and give you peace of mind.
