Hello,
I'm 39 and have been on Aromasin and Lupron shots (to shut down ovaries) for over a year. I made that choice over Tamoxifen because I thought it would be more aggressive, giving me more protection.

The only bothersome side effect I have is no libido. Most of the time that's okay! But it's a drag when I think about my husband. I enjoy sex, I just don't feel like starting it. So, it's not that bad.

Long term effects like bone loss concern me. That's why I'm doing the Lupron and not ovary removal at this time. I still have 4 more years on Aromasin, so I'm thinking maybe new research will help me choose whether or not to have my ovaries removed later down the road.

Thanks for posting,
Mindy
