Hi everyone =) I am 32, triple positive. HIGHLY er+ and Pr+.

My physician is using ovarian suppression with Trelstar + Aromasin. So far, so good. Chemo sent me into chemopause, so I had the hot flashes and the night sweats already. *joy* I began Effexor and it really helped out a lot. So far so good, I am not having additional symptoms. I am actually pretty darn happy about that.
I am having my tissue expanders swapped out soon for the final implants, so I am excited about that.
