What Causes High FSH Level When Diagnosed With Breast Cancer?

My sister and I have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer Stage 1. Her oncologist says her FSH levels are high and that she will be doing chemo 1 day, every 3 weeks for a 4 week cycle. I have never heard of this. Is it common? My oncologist never mentioned anything about FSH.
