    It's not uncommon to keep having, or resume, your period while on Tamoxifen. Do tell your oncologist though.
    Good luck with the other boob. Marg xxx

    Definetly need a discussion with your oncologist anout it. They may wish to check hormones. Kath x

    My periods stopped during chemo. I finished chemo in June and then had radiotherapy and now I've been on Tamoxifen 1 week. My oncologist told me it's possible my ovaries will start functioning again and my periods will return whilst on tamoxifen. In 2 years time the plan is to either shut the ovaries down chemically or remove them surgically before switching to an AI.

    My period came back during Chemo and I had just had a baby. I also had it every 28 days without fail whilst on Tamoxifen. My Onc said I have very strong ovaries.
