With my first diagnosis I was 35. It returned completely like clockwork. I had AC.
My second, diagnosis, at 41, I had Herceptin and Taxotere. I had extreme hot flashes while I was on treatment but my period returned to normal.
I was diagnosed with mets at 45. I had one cycle of Herceptin and Taxotere. My period stopped and then came back. But I got a cyst that had to be removed along with my ovary
Now I am on a clinical trial;TDM1. It's not supposed to stop your period but I keep getting cysts on my one remaning ovary. I have had one removed in March and now I have another one.
