chemo and periods

Karen Wheel · 07-20-2009, 06:22 AM

I'm 44 and before chemo was very regular. During chemo (9 weeks) and then almost like clockwork about a week after I stopped the chemo a month a go, it returned. I've only had one cycle, but was normal and hoping that it is back to stay for a few more years.

I have decided (almost completely) not to do the hormone therapy as I have read that in studies that Her-2 is resistent to Hormone therapy, so I am not wanting to risk the side effects of yet another drug but starting this.

Hope this helps you - Karen

I started with 12x weekly herceptin + taxol. my periods came regularly. Then, 4 x FEC every three weeks and the periods stopped. My last transaction was November 10, and I just got my first "real" period in June.

Aunt Flo was very angry with me, apparently.
