I was told your periods stopped when on chemo but mine have got much much worse! Whilst on EC I had really long and heavy periods but the Paclitaxel has been horrendous. I've just not stopped bleeding and it gets worse just after chemo. The chemo doctors checked me over and said it was unusual but as long as everything else is ok I just have to put up with it. I wondered if anyone else has experienced this or is it just me?? I've been really lucky with the other side effects being not too bad but this is wearing me down a bit....
