While on Tamoxifen, my period came back. I truly believe I should have had my overies removed then (various other problems came about that have made it difficult for me to have any unnecessary sugeries for a while). I had a relapse and was then switched to Femara and Lupron shots were added to my treatment plan. I am a big beleiver in getting rid of it if your not going to use it! Just my opinion. Lupron shots are given every 3 months and are a very easy solution too...Good luck on the decision.
