A member asked:

Mum had breastmastectomy(stage2) in 2012/6 chemosessions/radio 5weeks /taking tamoxifen/after 18 months, she just got her period ! what do you think ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See gynecologist: If I understand you correctly, your mother now has vaginal bleeding after having had none for 18 months, and she is taking Tamoxifen. This bleeding needs to be evaluated by a gynecologist. The gynecologist will want to check for any abnormal tissue ( cancer or precursor of cancer) in the uterus.
