Periods during chemo

hi ladies,

looking for someone might have experience something similar. I have just had my 2nd dose of AC chemo yesterday, 1st was 21/03. I'm on Zoladex, 2nd one yesterday.

Sorry, tmi, I was under the impression that my periods would end, however, I got my period a week early and today is day 11 of bleeding and it's really driving me crazy. First week was heavy but now it's fairly light but just doesn't want to stop! I asked the clinic about it today but my onco is away and the nurse said just to let them know if I'm still bleeding Monday.

Anyone else experience anything similar during their treatment? I know it's most likely hormonal but I am quietly concerned.

    So sorry I never responded. Thanks so much for your replies ladies :-) once my period finished, that was it. Zoladex is obviously doing its job. I still get hot flushes occasionally, and night sweats. Hope yours have stopped and Hope you are all doing well.

    Hello kymvass. 

    I just posted about hot flushes.... I'm only 2wks out of finishing chemo and I was wondering when the flushes will stop. Will they go? I need to research but I know everyone is different 

    thank u x

    Hi,

    I was on AC too, and after a life of fairly light periods, had a mega one! I have now finished my 4 sessions of AC, but am intermittent periods, some light and some going on forever. I think it messes with them, but they do end eventually after all your treatments.

    hope you're ok now!

    Hi,

    I guess everyone is different, but by the my 3rd dose of cyclophosphamide and dice rubicon my periods stopped altogether.

    Like you there was a last hurrah of 2 weeks straight of periods before they completely went to sleep. 

    I've never had them since so that was August last year, now just the hot flushes!!! The joys ??

    All the best with your path..... Xx
