Hi Lia,

I'm really reaching outside of my area of experience but am feeling talkative.

On one hand lots of people have done oomphs and say it's easy and OC is one less thing you'll have to worry about.

I tend to try to hang onto all my parts until 3 out 4 Drs. recommend losing them. So maybe get another opinion,

My guess, if you want to keep your parts, you would need to go off Zoladex for some time and then have a blood test for estradiol levels to see if Arimidex will remain effective. (To see if you're really in menopause)

Arimidex by itself causes bone loss. It's hard, every decision has risks of unintended consequences. Once you decide, go for it. We can only work with what we know.

Good luck, Bev
