I've been on Zoladex for 4,5 years now. Have been hesitant about an ooph because I was worried about the effect. There just didn't seem to be enough info on long term effects. I was 44 at diagnosis and preferred the reversible option. It's very hard to decide which way is best. I'm looking forward to more research results on this topic.
