Ladies, I have finished all treatment and am on Tamoxifen (started in April). Havent had period since mid way through chemo (Dec last year). I am 37yrs old.
Think there may be something about - small amount of spotting today. Onc told me to get in touch if periods returned. May need Zoladex. At what stage do I let him know? Shall I sit tight for the moment and see if a proper period starts? From what i’ve read, they can be quite erratic to start with cant they ?

Hiya…im on tamoxifen as well…my periods didnt stop at all through chemo…and carried on with being on tamoxifen…they said if periods became a problem then theyd look into sorting them out…however had to have a hysterectomy a few weeks ago…so that put paid to that idea.
The docs are changing my prescription now…instead of 5 years of tamoxi…its now 2 years of tamoxi and then 3 years of something else…but havent got that far yet.
