Vaginal bleeding during chemo

KrissyJ

so, I was on depoVera before my diagnosis and was already dealing with break through bleeding, which basically I bleed almost the whole 3months I was on the shot, well I finally got relief from the bleeding when my ob doctor told me to take up to 600mg of ibuprofen for 3 days. Well, I was diagnosed with the breast cancer the first of June, and since my PET scan, on the 12th I have had like a full on period, I already had my first round of chemo, and I'm still bleeding and cramping, does this not end?? I feel like I have been bleeding forever and it sucks!

krissyj- I had heavy periods for many days with each AC chemo treatment. I hated it, too. MO said it does happen for some women.

Sorry you have to experience this SE, too

Krissy - be sure your MO knows & is doing continuing testing of Red Blood Cells and of Iron.
