...to make sure you are fully post menopausal. I had mine done and I was well within menopausal range right after chemo (I was 33).

About a month later I felt the "familiar symptoms" and had them done againa nd sure enough they were back to the pre-menopausal levels. Se we started lupron injections and I've been fully post-menopausal ever since. I wanted to take arimidex instead of tamoxifen so I had ot do the shots (or have the surgery - I choose shots.)

Best wishes to you...
Love and hugs,
Lauren

Hi Lauren,
I just started Lupron shots last week. Could you tell me some of the side effects I should expect? How did you do with it? I just had my injection last week, I think it's the one that lasts 4 months! Thanks for your insight!
