The recommendations with regard to scanning and menstrual cycle is to ensure that the person would not be pregnant while scan is performed In your case the reason for stopped menstruation is due to chemotherapy Hence scan can be done. The scan center might sometimes request to perform urine pregnancy tests just to be extra sure Regards Rakesh
