I just completed my 2nd treatment on Thursday...with my blood counts low...but doable. I was expecting to feel a bit tired on my fourth day. Now my period started and it's like I'm extra weak. I'm estrogen positive so I was hoping to stop the production during chemo. I'm contacting my doc on Monday, but wondering has anyone else experienced this. I'm half way done with my treatment and I'm trying to do all I can to stay healthy and on track

    Thank you so much for replying. I was starting to worry with this. My period is abnormally heavy, so I'm resting a lot this weekend. Hopefully, it will slow down enough to not deplete all my blood counts

    I also started my last period the same day as my 3rd treatment. My doc was surprised that it hung in there that long. It has not come back for me, so I suppose I'm finished with that now. I think it stayed so long due to timing of chemo.

    Thank you so much for replying, too. I find myself sailing along fine until these little surprises creep in. I am so glad I reached out here. You all have helped calm me. I had almost convinced myself that this was ABNORMAL! I'msure it doesn't help with my numbers, but I'm not alone.
