Re: Period returned - good or bad?

I too - am still in the "lost" catagory on whether it is good or bad ....

I am positive on Est but very low on prog.... and so after lots of research - and not finding anything that can convince me to do the hormone therapy - I have decided not to. I am still on herceptin for another 6 months, but my docs are really worried about me getting pregnant as my period came back right after my chemo stopped. I just turned 45 and have no kids, but at this point after chemo they say I would have to wait two years - and frankly at 47 .... ahhhh - no thanks. So, I am actually considering asking the docs here (I live in Italy) if they will tie my tubes.... that way I will be safe and not have to worry about pg!?

Not sure if this helped ---- just hard to know what to do..... overall!

What do you guys think???
