I was one of those wome who optd for ovarian supression. I am strongly er and pr positive as well as her2 positive. Initally my surgeon put me on tamoxifen two weeks after surgery. within two weeks I oticed my breast started to shrink and I felt great. When I went to see oncologost - she said arimidex was a much better way to go . So for now it is monthly lupron shots as i was not even perimenpausal .
I am considering takign my ovaries out and will discuss it with th but there was a study the surgeon and oncoogist when I go back next month. If supressig my ovaries can kep this beast at bay......
