Re: oophorectomy and osteoporosis

Thanks for all the responses! This may sound naive, but what happens after an oophorectomy? Have you noticed premature aging, significant weakening of bones, etc.?

Thanks,
Jane

Re: oophorectomy and osteoporosis

Dear Debbie, and others,

I'm wary of Tamoxifen because, as I wrote in an earlier thread (Tamoxifen, LHRH, AI, oophorectomy?), dated Feb. 13, there are a couple of studies suggesting that...

oophorectomy and osteoporosis

Hello,

I've been reading the posts of ladies who have opted for oophorectomy. I'm wondering if osteoporosis has been a problem for you? I'm contemplating an oophorectomy myself so that I can...

Zoladex query

I've read that Zoladex can raise blood sugar (glucose) levels in men when it is used for prostate cancer. I don't think it has the same effect in women, but has anyone experienced it? I'd really...

Re: Tamoxifen trouble

Dear Elizabeth and others,

This is exactly the sort of thing I've been dreading from Tamoxifen. Are there any ER+/PR- ladies out there who have had *positive* experiences with Tamoxifen?

Re: Tamoxifen, LHRH agonist, AI, oophorectomy??

I really appreciate these thoughtful responses! I should stress that I am not triple positive but ER+/PR-, and one study found that the PR- part was predictive of Tamoxifen resistance. My onc is...

Tamoxifen, LHRH agonist, AI, oophorectomy??

Dear all,

I started the "Tamoxifen anxiety" thread nearly two months ago, when I was starting chemo. Two months later, I'm still unsure how to proceed. There are a couple of articles out there...

Re: Tamoxifen anxiety

Hi Alli,

My impression is that her2+ is more likely to be resistant to Tamox than her2-. I've also seen the opinion that inducing menopause yields better outcomes. However, AIs have not been...

Re: Tamoxifen anxiety

Dear Jacqueline,

Do you attribute the back pain to the AI? Is it better now you've stopped? What is PMA - pilates?

Thanks a lot!

Re: Tamoxifen anxiety

Any problems with back pain? Your situation sounds a lot like mine, though I am older than you were (49) at time of diagnosis.

Thanks again; this is really helpful,
Jane

P.S.: This is going...

Re: Tamoxifen anxiety

Thanks for all the replies, ladies! All this information is really useful. Jacqueline, you don't seem to have taken Tamoxifen at all, despite being premenopausal at dx. What led you to go straight...

Re: Tamoxifen anxiety

Has anyone found that prophylactic hysterectomy/oophorectomy was worth the side effects?

Re: Tamoxifen anxiety

Debra,

Can I ask how your hysterectomy went? Did you start having menopausal symptoms immediately, and if so, how bad were they, and how long did they last? How long after chemo did you have the...

Re: Tamoxifen anxiety
