Dear Roopa,
Sadly, a known long term side effect of chemotherapy is that it can lead to harmful effects on the oocytes and ovaries leading to premature ovarian failure. Going by your FSH report, that seems to be the case. Occasionally, it may be reversible after a few years of finishing chemotherapy, but mostly it may persist. In such a scenario, Donor egg IVF i.e. doing IVF taking eggs from another woman who donates eggs for you is a reasonable solution in your case.
