Hi
I’m 4 EC fortnightly before moving onto 4 Paclitaxel.
After my first EC I had a heavy period that lasted around 10 days, I’ve just had my 2nd EC and two days later another heavy period.!
I’m nearly 54…..!
I had a Mirena for many years for heavy periods, but was advised to get this removed and to stop HRT - I found out my cancer is hormone fed.
Has anyone else had this?, I think it’s making me feel even more exhausted .
Any advice greatly appreciated xxx

Ah thank you, I did contact my Oncologist today and she’s given me 4 days of Tranexamic Acid to help ease the bleeding and to contact her to see how things after that.
