Thank you, Becky! Very helpful.
Shobha, I do wonder if you can ease into menopause a tad more gradually (and easily??) with the drugs by slowly increasing the dosage, vs the suddenness of the oophorectomy? OR since I am now in chemopause, maybe I won't experience many/any additional symptoms after the ovaries are shut down??
