I was doing fine without menses (from Chemo) with high FSH and LH and was on Arimidex. Weirdly, on Sunday, I got my period (it was like a faucet for 2 days) but yesterday and today is is really slowed down and will probably be done tomorrow. Ironically, I am getting an oophorectomy on August 29 due to having 2 cysts that won't resolve (on my left ovary). Saw my gyno Monday for pre-surgery meeting and told him about my "period". He is calling it abnormal bleeding. (My onco made me stop the Arimidex until the day after the surgery saying that being off of it for about 3 weeks is no consequence in the scheme of things - I am on weekly Herceptin because of the trial). Naturally, it makes me nervous to be off Arimidex. My gyno says that younger women who are chemically (to include chemo) induced to menopause always produce something. Even natural menopause a little something is still produced.
I was 50% ER and 5% PR. I will be in menopause for sure at the end of the month.
Best wishes,
Becky
