Hello, I just turned 47, recently finished 12 weeks of AC for stage 1 node neg IDC. Beginning 6 1/2 weeks radiation next week. My tumor ER/PR+ so hormone therapy in order. I have had trouble with very heavy and long periods for at least 2 years, my gyn has been monitoring fibroids, uterus lining. Chemo did not stop my periods, in fact I have been bleeding every day (some days less some more, since mid-June.) Ultrasound in mid-July showed fibroids have decreased in size by half since July 03( possibly due to chemo). Because of my weird periods and chance tamoxofin would make worse, oncologist has put me on lupron depot to make me menopausal and Arimidex. I started lupron 2 weeks ago, am still bleeding every day. Onc. said to go ahead anyway and start the arimidex, which I did yesterday. Am I getting benefit of Arimidex if still bleeding? My next appt with oncologist is in 2 weeks -- I'm a bit frustrated because very busy practice and I feel I am getting short answers (just take the arimidex) when I want more understanding. I realize this my comm. problem with onc which I have to handle but am interested in your thoughts. Thanks!
