Heavy periods after treatment
Hi All I just wanted to put this out there to see if anyone else has had similar experiences or if I should be more concerned. Quick background...surgery in March, (2016), chemo from May through Jun...
@Nards Hi!
Ok, so depends too on how old you are, I'm 48 and a few months before diagnosis last year my period stopped. I started Chemo and it came back with a vengeance huh!!!??? It stopped through Chemo for good. I'm 11 months post now and so its been a good year of nothing. My Oncologist said it would throw me into menopause as it does most women around my age. If you are younger, it seems like your body catching up, I'd see how it goes, and maybe book in to check it out. I had a pap smear a month after finishing Chemo and everything was fine. So wouldnt say it would be abnormal as such, but trust your gut and if you feel its a bit strange, then check it out for peace of mind. Hugs Melinda xo
