Re: What next?

Hi and I hope you continue to recover well from your surgery, I had my ovaries removed but I was forty six and not sure I would have done it at your age as a preventative. I was wondering if you could take Lupron shots to shut down the ovaries and enable you to take Femara which seems to be a bit less drastic!
