Hi,
Sadly after a long break I am back to update my blog.
I had breast cancer - lumpectomy, radiotherapy, Tamoxifen. I finished the Tamoxifen 9 months ago. Prior to my treatment for cancer I'd had a Mirena coil for nearly 5 years. Having to have that removed upset me greatly at the time, more than the cancer news. It's because it stopped my periods - Hallelujah!! I'd suffered with really heavy periods most of my life. Anyway, going onto Tamoxifen had the great side effect for me of stopping my periods...
