Hi Ladies,

Just wanted to ask a question to gauge whether i need to visit a doctors or not. I have just started having period pains (really bad ones) and bleeding. I had a coil fitted June 06 and they said i would probably not have periods after a while. About December 06 they stopped then in feb 07 they started again i had a period feb, march and april. Then I had my dx in May and operation so no period then chemo and no period since. but today i am gushing (sorry) and really bad pains. I am now on cmf so i know that is more gentle than the first epirubicin i was on. So may be they just decided to come back, but still worried. GP visit or not I can’t decide, i visit the doctor as least as possible through this as i have enough appointments at the hospital!!

Hi Gaynor

I can’t really help I’m afraid, but it sounds like the pain is pretty bad and if you’re losing a lot of blood maybe at least give your GP emergency line a call? Or your clinic.

Sorry can’t help further but I’m a bit worried that you are losing such a lot of blood

Hello Gaynor.

Did they give you a chemo helpline? My hospital did. I would phone them. They wrote it in my chemo logbook.

Please have it checked out. Must be very worrying.
