Hi just a quick question going for 3rd Ec tomorrow. Havent had a period for past 2 months and iv just came on today. I remember my bcn telling me that i prob wouldnt have a period till after chemo.
So now im panicking im her2+ er/pr neg so not on any hormone meds.
Does anyone know if this is common??
Hi, I can't answer you question, sorry, it my response will,bump you back up to the first page ss the site has been busy today.I am sure someone will be along soon to respond.
Hi N_M,
Please don’t worry. I had sporadic periods through my EC chemo then they stopped. I also suffer from endometriosis and so this was a silver lining I suppose. I didn’t start my hormone therapy until I went on to radiotherapy as I was told by my oncology team that chemo usually comes first then other treatments. Please check with your BC nurse/oncology team but I think it is normal for chemo to mess up your cycle.
Warm hugs,
Bekky
