Re: oophorectomy and osteoporosis

Re: oophorectomy and osteoporosis
Dear Debbie, and others,

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,

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
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...
