DAUGHTER Triple positive age 28
 

My daughter 28 yo recently dx wit triple positive BC. Tumor 1.8 on MRI and node neg on MRI. She will be given TCHP every 3 weeks x6 weeks. Has anyone taken a med prior to chemo or during chemo for ovarian suppression? Since highly ER positive just seems like it she might want to be proactive with the production of Estrogen . She will be having a double mastectomy post chemo. Thank you!

Dx 2005 er-/pr- /her 2 +
Lumpectomy 2005 1.5 cm tumor/vascular invasion node neg
2006 AC dose dense every 2 weeks x 6 doses.
2006 Sought 2nd opinion for Herceptin. (they weren't giving herceptin to node neg pts in 2006.
Received 6 months of Herceptin then discontinued due to heart issues
Ovaries removed 2008 /genetic testing /gene variant
11 Years NED!! MRI every 6 months

Hello - sorry she has to go through this! As you can see
I was triple positive too. My oncologist told me the chemo would shut down my ovaries during treatment and it did, but I would certainly ask! As
Soon as I finished chemo I started tamoxifen and when my period returned dr recommended to have ovaries removed so I could take arimidex. I know Treatment is different for everyone and we just have to hope its curative.
I'll be thinking of her and I know she will do well!

Ugh, so sorry for your young daughter. There's no worry about estrogen, once she starts chemo her own body will suppress her ovaries. Once she is done with chemo, she will go on Tamoxifen or if she doesn't tolerate that, they can do Luperon injections to suppress her ovaries and an aromatase inhibitor. Again, I am terribly sorry that she has to even think about this.

I agree with the replies above but so sorry she has to face this at such a young age:(
