Hi
Exactly the same thing happened to me. Had a really heavy period 18 months after chemo had stopped periods. That was 2 years ago and I havn’t had a period since. Funny thing was that for that month I had no hot flushes, heaven!!
HI
I HAVE FINISHED TREATMENT BUT I HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF PERIODS AND THEY HAVE BEEN SO HEAVY I CAN BARELY LEAVE THE HOUSE,IS THERE ANYTHING THAT THE DOCTOR CAN DO TO RECTIFY THIS THANKS XXXX
BonnieLass,
My periods returned a year after they stopped during chemo. I have now had 3 since November and the first 2 were also so heavy I could not leave the house. The last one I had however was really light and I’m so hoping that will be it. I spoke to my neighbour, who’s a doctor, and she said very definitely there are things you can do. I can’t quite remember what she said, but do talk to someone about it. I also just wanted to say you might want to get your iron levels checked as I ended up quite anaemic (and I know I wasn’t before).
Really hope you get something sorted,
Susanx
Hello girls,
Just caught back up with this thread. Funny how everyone’s ONC is different. Zoladex has never been offered as part of my treatment, only on Tamoxifen! (I know I should be happy about that lol) just wondering why it is so different all other things being equal.
Bye Carolyn x
You can have my zoladex if you want Carolyn. Its cr*p! Al x
Hi all
I’m on Tamoxifen plus Zoladex which is not great in terms of SEs. After it was recommended by my onc I discovered that the NICE guidelines say that the T + Z combination should only be offered to women who’ve been offered chemo and turned it down, it’s not offered as an option up front, which in my opinion stinks since it means that we don’t get all the options explained in advance.
I went for a 2nd opinion on the oncologist and the other one said she wouldn’t have even mentioned chemo and wouldn’t have bothered with the Zoladex either, which illustrates just how much medical opinion can differ for the same patient.
Since I was 50 at Dx I was told I’d have to do 2 years of T + Z, then come off the Z and have blood tests to check if I’m post-meno, and only after I’ve had 2 or 3 consecutive ones that agree I’m post-meno then I’ll be switched to aromatase inhibitors.
If those let me get a decent night’s sleep I’ll be delighted. I’m so fed up - and exhausted - with the broken sleep caused by my present treatment.
So glad to find this thread. Finished chemo a year ago and started tamoxifen. My periods stopped after 5th chemo and haven’t had one since-until today! Think I will go and see GP and see what he says as I don’t see onc for another 9 months. Just glad I’m not the only one
