I am curious for those of us that are er/pr- and her 2 + when everyone's period came back.  My last chemo was in mid Jan, of course I am still on Herceptin and Avastin till Sept but no sign of Aunt Flow, The Red Raider, The Curse, etc. lol. Has anyone heard if Herceptin delays it's return? Don't get me wrong, I am not missing it one bit just curious how long it took for yours to make a comeback.

    My last chemo was in December.  I got a surprise visit in February.  Skipped April.  Wishing it would have stayed away.  Not looking forward to a second round of hot flashes in the future.

    HEY FIGHTINHRD! I WAS DIAGNOSED AND HAD LUMPECTOMY IN JUNE OF 08.  I'M CONSIDERED ONE YEAR IN THE CLEAR!  THIS IS THE VERY FIRST TIME SINCE MY ROLLERCOASTER RIDE THAT I REACHED OUT TO SOME TYPE OF SUPPORT GROUP.  I AM HER2 + AND I HAVE  THREE MORE HERCEPTINS TO GO.  I FINISHED MY CHEMO IN NOV. , MY RADIA IN JAN   GOT MY PERIOD SINCE MAY AND I'M THRILLED.  COULDN'T DEAL WITH THE THOUGHT OF MENOPAUSE. SO I THINK ITS A GOOD THING!!!!

    I WAS TOLD THAT THE CHEMO WOULD PUT ME INTO MENOPAUSE.  THEY TOLD ME MY PERIOD MAY COME BACK BUT HIGHLY UNLIKELY.  I GOT IT 5 MONTHS AFTER CHEMO AND HAVE HAD IT SINCE.  SO I'M HOPING IT WILL CONTINUE.
