I thought I would leave some surprises for  Louise!    I thought the condom was hilarious but makes sense  = wonder if  it is possible to ask for colours?  Really Louise it doesn't hurt just a little uncomfortable. XLeonie

Hi Ladies

I got through to my oncologist who sent me to my GP.  I had a talk with him and he said that it is probably so heavy because I haven't had one for a few months (and it's been building up).  Neither the GP nor my oncologist were too concerned but I am getting a pelvic ultrasound next Tuesday to make sure that there is nothing nasty happening:)

I am now on my 3rd day of really heavy bleeding but it does seem to reduce in the afternoons - who knows why??  Hopefully it will ease off soon....

Will let you know how I go with the pelvic ultrasound.  I have to have an MRI on Thursday this week because of a shadow on my liver that was found before I started my chemo.  They couldn't do the MRI before because of my tissue expander (it has a magnet in it) and couldn't find anything under ultrasound.  Back to being a lab rat for a while from the looks of things!!

See ya,

What a bugger.  I had the same happen to me.  On my honeymoon!!  I started Tamoxifn in February 2007 and Wedding was in October.  Whilst I was on Tamoxifen (changed over to Arimidex last December when I was rediagnosed) I was in close contact with my wonderful gynecologist.  Whenever I had a bleed he would investigate it as Tamoxifen has a high risk of uterine cancer associated with it.  Now don't panic but get it checked out.  I had many D&c and hystoscopies whilst on it.  Other than that I had no other side effects on this drug.  XLeonie  PS  I never had huge bleeds but of course I was nearly 51 when I started Tamoxifen.

Just wondering how you are going and if you got hold of your oncologist for some answers. That would be really scary. I'm sorry I dont have any answers for you. My periods prior to chemo was 3 months on and 3 months off. But since starting chemo I havent had any touch wood. I hope you get some answers to put your mind at easy. Let us know how you get on.

I hope that you get an answer soon - you must be a bit worried.  I remember getting horrible periods when they started again after the birth of each of my children - I thought it was to do with the change in hormones - maybe your body is sorting itself out but you will hear soon from your Dr's office and she will be able to help. 

Thanks for answering, Amanda

I wish I had some feedback for you - sounds awful.  :-(  I'm sure someone here will have something to help.  I am about to start Chemo and have been told it will likely cause me to go through menopause so I was surprised to see your post. Can I ask if you experienced menopause with the chemo and your periods have now come back?  I am 38 - I won't be having tamoxifen - I'm doing Fec100 and Doxetal and Herceptin for my chemo.  I hope it is a bit lighter today.
