And just to complicate chemo can effectively ablate the ovaries. Well known I know but some seemed to be asking how much treatment benifit from chemo was due to ovarian ablation caused by chemo ?

I posted some links on the site earlier on this. From distant recollection there have been a few trials looking at chemo v ablation, and incidence of reoccurence where chemo has not brought about ovarian shut down.

The whole subject raises issues for younger suffers with fertility issues looking at chemo as a treatment option, especially where borderline.
