You should always get "weird" things checked out but I had so many weird things happen with my menstrual cycle while I was on chemo. Lasted forever and bled alot. Spotted here and there often. I got it checked out and then finally went into chemopause. About 7 months after the last taxol, I got my period back. I ended up getting my ovaries removed as I thought it was the best thing for me to do for a variety of reasons (but the reasons for removal had nothing to do with spotting etc - it was that ovarian cancer also runs strong in the family).
So, I really think this is a normal weird thing caused by chemo. It would be prudent to get it checked just in case. I am sure many others on this board will tell you their chemo/menstrual horror stories (cramps are/were worse for me during this time too).
Have a nice weekend.
