What Is The Best Medicine For Stage 1 Breast Cancer?
Hi, i was daignosed last year with stage 1 breast cancer. After surgery, i was put on tamoxifen and calcium. My period has been irregular after that - stopping for 3 months and then coming for 2, then stopping again. My menses was on the 23Jan and i am still having it today. I am 50 this year. I have taken norethisterone before when my period did not stop but that was before i started on tamoxifen. Is it safe to take norethisterone again to stop the menses since i am taking tamoxifen everyday?

I appreciate your understanding of the disease.don't take norethisterone to stop periods.resume of periods is not a good sign in breast cancer. it can increase your chances of breast cancer. so visit your oncologist immediately to start injectable hormonal therapy along with tamoxifen to stop periods
