Have Heavy Menstrual Flow After Radiation Treatments. Should I Eat Something To Compensate The Loss Of Blood?

I am a breast Cancer Patient, I've completed my Cehmo/Radiation treatments almost 1 1/2 years ago, I was told that I probably will not have a menstrual cycle again, due to my age (43), however.....I started my cycle last month and it was extremely heavy, I figured it was the first cycle, in over a year....so maybe that was normal. I'm having the same issue now, with the heavy menstrual flow....and I am very weak, and nauseaous, arms and legs feel heavy, Should I be eating or dringking something to compensate for the loss of blood? I've made an appt to see my GYN, however, that appt is not for almost 2weeks.

Hi,
It seems that this problem might be due to pre-menopause stage where there is some hormonal changes taking place.
Take Iron capsules as there might be possibility of having anemia.
Take fresh fruits and green veggies.
Take nourishing diet.
After consulting Gunaec she may go for some hormonal treatment if she feels proper.
Take rest.
Ok and take care.
