PROGESTERONE

Hi, I was diagnosed before Christmas. I was prescribed progesterone by the consultant due to me having a really really heavy period and clotting. It stopped my bleeding within a couple of days and just get some slight bleeding every now and then now. I have had weeks of waiting with it being Christmas and awaiting an MDT meeting next Wednesday to discuss options for surgery etc. They said the progesterone should help to stop the cancer growing.

Thanks Bella, that's helpful.  Good luck with your MDT results and everything. The waiting is hard isn't it. Let us know how you're getting on.

Hi, I was diagnosed just before Christmas while being investigated for endometriosis. I've been given progesterone since I've opted not to have the hysterectomy (well for now, I get my MRI results tomorrow). Like Bella said the progesterone sheds the lining of the womb and stops it thickening which in turn helps prevent the cancer growing back. I've had spotting daily since starting it and some dizziness but overall no issues. Hope this helps x
