Stopping Chemotherapy before 4th Cycle

Hi there, I was diagnosed in March with Ovarian Cancer after finding one tumor, having surgery to remove that tumor & then finding even more tumors during the surgery. I have Stage 3C Ovarian Cancer & ended up losing my right ovary, a smidge of my left ovary, my appendix, & my omentum. I went through 3 cycles of BEP chemotherapy, we stopped in the middle of June before my 4th cycle could begin. After receiving my CT scan results I had grown another tumor despite chemo on my spleen & am now scheduled for another surgery in August to remove both the tumor & my spleen. 

 

My question is why did my menstrual cycle just now stop showing up. I had it all during my treatments, this is my first month not having one. I'm only 27 years old which is why I still have the 1 ovary left to keep my from going into menopause early. I had a tubal ligation done years ago before knowing I had Ovarian Cancer. So I'm almost positive I'm not pregnant, I'm not sure that I could even get pregnant at this point. I've heard of the menstrual cycle ending during chemo and then coming back a few months later but no one has mentioned losing it AFTER chemo.... My hair has already started growing back, it's been over a month since my last treatment...and ibhad them five days in a row for weeks...so any advice???

 

Thanks everyone, god bless & a speedy recovery!! ♡♡
