I made it to the 5 year mark. Please help me avoid my period!
Hello all you amazing ladies, (Long one, will summarise quickly - Need help with shutting off my period safely somehow.) I was here ages ago when I was still very much in the deep end of...
Hi @"Summer Prevails",
My situation was that my periods returned 18months into taking Tamoxifen. My oncologist had thought that chemo would have put me into permanent menopause because I was 47 at diagnosis. So at 49 I had my ovaries and tubes removed. This then put me into permanent menopause and allowed me to change from Tamoxifen to Letrozole also.
Is this an option you could check with your doctors about for stopping those periods once and for all?There are other health implications of early menopause so this may impact your situation but at 49 it was thought to be the best solution for me.
It will be 10 years since diagnosis for me in May this year.
Best wishes in finding the right path forward for you.
