Periods during chemo

[Heather]

Hi, I am new here. I was diagosed Sept/03 immediately with as stage 4 with liver mets. I have been on herceptin since Nov/03, initially in combo with Docetaxel for 5 rounds, then Vinorerlbine till last Nov. Now I am only on herceptin, every three weeks, as my liver has been clear since July/04. I was perimenopausal at diagnosis, but yesterday started having a period, first time in two years. I am nearly 52, and thinking this is not normal, but wondering if anyone else had their periods come back after this long. I am at present being treated (radiation) for a small brain tumor. Had 10 rounds of general radiation (whole head), and am going for a stereotactic boost next week. But I am really curious about the period thing. Hope someone else has been in the same situation.
