I was diagnosed with bc in 2006 when I was 47 years old. I was stage 1, ER and PR + and her2+. I did not have chemotherapy. I started tamoxifen about a year and a half ago and have had about 6 periods during that time. About 2 weeks ago, I had a period and it hasn't stopped yet. In my whole life, I have never had a period last longer than 5 days. Prior to my use of tamoxifen, I still had very regular periods. I called the Dr. and he said that I should monitor the situation and in three weeks, I should come in for a uterine bioposy. Does anyone have any experience with this? I don't want to overreact, but I feel scared inside. Thanks. susan
