Kristen my onc agreed to referr me to a Gyno after tx when I enquired about an ooph. He was in agreement that as highly triple pos it could only benefit me to start arimidex. The surgery was the easiest I ever had and I have no regrets. I've been taking arimidex for two years and do have the usual side effects of stiffness/joint pain but am still cancer free so it's worth the aches!
