Re: Zoladex

Thank you for that information Becky, it seems a little silly to give Femara to me on the basis of chemo induced menopause especially when so many have their cycles return!
Anyway another 3 weeks and it will join those other distant memories on the treatment journey. I can't believe how much I have forgotten already when at the time it seemed it would never leave me! My daughter (only just 3) can't really remember me bald and I was forever 'undressed' at home!
Thanks again
