Hi

i am on tamoxifen , have been since May 2021. I had 2 periods in the first year but not had one for 558 days until today and now I am panicking!! Has this happened to anyone else? It doesn’t help that it’s the weekend and I don’t know who to get in touch with!!! Any advice/help would be much appreciated.

TIA

  • Hi  , lovely messages already, just wanted to add a friend’s story. She’s one of my ‘hormonally deranged’ group, met them when having ear acupuncture for the hot flushes that come courtesy of the hormone zappers. I’m on Anastrozole but my friends are on tamoxifen. One of them thought she was done with periods even before going on the tamoxifen, but had a really heavy one out of the blue. Went to the doctor in a panic, had scans and some other investigations, all turned out to be fine. Just ‘one of those things’ apparently. 
    So definitely get it investigated but try not to assume that anything sinister is going on, it seems that this can happen even several years into hormone treatment. Love and hugs, HFxx
