Hi all, Ive not posted in a long time.
I was stage 1 breast cancer, had lumpectomy and 5 lots radiotherapy.
My 3 year check was all clear and riskmof potential further cancer was minimal. So in agreement with the Breast Cancer Nurse, the Tamoxifen was stopped, having completed 3 years, Sept 2025.
Blood tests indicated I was post nebapusal at 4 and 12 weeks off tamoxifen.
My last period was 18 months ago.
My mum died 5 weeks ago and her funeral was 4 weeks after. The day after her funeral, I started getting a 'dirty' discharge, then full on period with the most horrendous lower back ache which Im still struggling with
Should I accept this period is due to stress or should I be contacting the GP or BCN?
Thank you in advance ️
