ooph

I too, have gotten my period back after almost 2 years.......My doctor said he had no evidence as to whether staying on Zoladex for a few years, or having an oopherectomy was better for avoiding recurrence; but I feel that getting them removed will give me a better quality of life than having those chemicals every month !! I just am not sure whether or not to remove the uterus as well, because an abnormal area is showing up on my pelvic ultrasound that says they believe its endometrial fibroid, but
cant rule out carcinoma, although I believe it is benign because my CA blood level was normal.....my onc says they need to track us premenopausal ER+ women better to figure out the % of those whose ovaries turn back on..........he also says he believes arimidex is best for HER2+ patients vs. tamoxifen, and so does my surgeon..........
