Has anyone had there cycles stop because of chemo and start back again ,I was 43 at the time of my diagnosis and am now 45 so it has been 1 year and 4 months since my last chemo, my oncology dr says it does happen but my obgyn says it should not because according to the blood test they ran the chemo put me in menopause 

Thanks Tina

    Tina,

    My came back also, and had been very spotty all through chemo.  I finished my last chemo in early October and it came back in February this year.  I am 41, soon to be 42.  I just has a follow-up with my onc today and he did not seem surprised it came back.  I think there are many individual factors that may play a role in that, not just the chemo.  Hope that helps.

    My periods stopped during chemo and did not return until one year post chemo. Then I had one very heavy one. My estrogen levels showed me to be post-menopausal, so we were concerned. Everything checked out OK and I've had no periods since. My gyn thinks they're really gone for good now. It was just one last hurrah. The closer you are to menopause when you undergo treatment, the less likely it is that periods return. I was 48 at DX.

    You're welcome! I do understand what you're going through. I was pretty scared when it happened to me, too. Like my situation, I hope yours turns out to be no big deal. My thoughts are with you today.

    Well I went to the Dr today and she did a biopsy, she said she is 90% sure it is not cancer but if it is we will just do a hysterectomy and be done with it , sounds good to me, she says with having breat cancer we women are at greater risk of getting other female cancers than most people, go figure. Thanks for your support.
