 Hi. Yesterday, May 21st, I had my 4th chemo of Avastin, Taxatore, and I am taking Xeloda.  Chemo has been going realtively well.  I have not had a period since I started my chemo back in March, but today it seems like started again.  Just wondering if this has happened to anyone during chemo and not when chemo was over.
 On the postitive note, my tumor which was a large one 7cm x 4cm is no longer palpable after 3 treatments. 
 Well, everyone have a great Holiday weekend!

Hi Amy,

I began chemo (4 rounds of AC then 12 of T) on January 15th and my periods stopped when I began and then I had one come back at the end of February. They have not come back since (I still have one more Taxol round left). My doctor said it was normal as I was young (and so are you). She also says this is why she expects my periods to return to normal once I'm done with chemo.

Congrats on your tumor shrinking and I hope you have a great Holiday weekend too.

Natalia.
