Re: Zoladex...

Hi Angel,
I am so sorry I don't know much about Zoladex, or Femara...but I do know about oopherectomies. You are WAYTOOYOUNG (!!) to have to deal with all this; but please make sure you ask your doctor about how you can maintain a (how do I say this delicately?!), healthy sex life! After an oopherectomy, many of us need a bit of help in this area and it is better to address it sooner; before a problem arises, than later. It is not something our docs like to talk about usually, but for your own mental and physical health, it is good to address it early.
Good luck and stay with us. Let us know how you are doing after the surgery.
Hugs and hugs,
Kim (from CT)
