Is it possible for chemo to effect menstrual flow? I am so much heavier now.

    I havent had a period since
    I havent had a period since my first chemo, it was heavy and I had a migraine for a week. havent gotten one since. It would be my guess that it does affect your periods because it messes with your hormones. perhaps you should check with your gyn or onc.

    zolodex shot
    I am getting all kinds of side effect...TMI TMI TMI

    Zolodex Shot: I am bleeding profusely, large blood clots; on my 80 pad since Tuesday... hot flashes... (Maybe twice a day...) and I am fatigued...wake up in the middle of the night to the heaviest bleeding...

    Now I have normally heavy periods, because of fibroids...60 pads in a seven-day period...My cycle went off on July 30, 2010...This bleeding is from the Zolodex shot given on August 4 2010...I thought I would be able to hang out before chemo on the 23rd... Guess not... When is it going to shut down my ovaries? I am tired of my body...

    PLEASE SHARE EXPERIENCES WITH LUPRON AN OR ZOLODEX SHOTS WITH ME...I realize this Zoladex is going to help block estrogen from Cancer... and help with uterine fibroids but today is uuuggghhh....

    I SPOKE WITH NURSE THIS IS NORMAL...I AM BLEEDING MORE THAN OTHERS WITH THE SHOT ARE BECAUSE FIBROIDS FEED OFF BLOOD...

    BEFORE ALL THIS, I NEVER HAD CHICKEN POPS, MUMPS OR MEASLES...UUUGGGHHH...

    Send me some positive thoughts please... good wishes... something...

    I did not mean to offend anyone, or be vulgar... this post contain a lot of personal stuff...But I needed to get it out...and someone in this forum, may be able to relate...
