Unhappy Migraines, dizziness, nausea during PMS?
Has anyone had these problems after finishing chemo? I started my ACT treatment in 2006, finishing with Herceptin in Aug 2007. During that time I did go into menopause (36 yrs old) but my period has returned since. Pretty much on schedule each month but the last 2-3 months I have had such bad migraines, dizzy spells and nausesness prior to my period. (I'd rather be swelling up and cranky then have to deal with this) I have an appt to see my onc. on Monday but doesn't help with not feeling good today or yesterday. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry you've been dealing with all this, maybe I was one of the lucky one's but I haven't really had too many problems after chemo. I think it's good you're seeing your onc Monday to discuss and hope you get some answers on this soon.

It could be many things including endometriosis. Be sure to see a gynecologist and get a uterine ultrasound too.

Anything could make your hormones be off and it may have nothing to do with cancer and your chemo.

For one thing, I would insist on a brain MRi. If nothing else, it will be a baseline test for your records........
