    Hi Summer1234 it is not unusual for someone on Tamoxifen to bleed although a lot don't.  I doubt very much if you have another cancer so I wouldn't worry too much on that score.  Not sure what your doc will do if anything but good luck with your visit on Monday and please don't stress too much.

    Love n hugs.   Chrissy

    I never had chemo (so no chemopause) and am premenopausal.  I never stopped my periods while on Tamoxifen, nor did many other people I know, so it is not an effective method of suppressing menstruation.   I would guess that your body has recovered enough from chemo to start cycling again.   You might want to talk to your onc about ovarian suppression if they are adamant they don't want you experiencing regular cycles yet.
