Hi Deanne, the same thing has happened to a few ladies (your age)in my bc group. I guess you are in the peri menopause age bracket and so it's possible to have erratic periods.The ladies reckon Tamoxifen makes them heavier. Every time I've had spotting on Tamoxifen,I've been sent for a pelvic ultrasound.I'm wondering if your GP could order this for you so that you have the results to take to your gynea?maybe hormone blood levels too? My perimenopause went from 47 yrs to 54 yrs. during that time, my periods were heavy and erratic but gradually went to 3mthly then 6mthly.I didn't have chemo with my first bc bout(47yrs).Ofcourse we are all different but I don't think your situation is unusual. Still,you have to be checked.Us bc girls get checked if we sneeze! Tonya xx
