Hello,
I'm 38 and currently on Herceptin (10th month) and Aromasin (3rd month). I was eligible for the SOFT trial, but felt that taking the AI was better than Tamoxifen, based on everything I had read. My gyn. almost scared me into going on Tamox. rather than Lupron/AI, saying that menopause at my age would really hurt my quality of life. I really struggled with this, but my gut feeling was take the AI. Then we figured that since I was already in chemopause and managing the side effects okay, menopause wouldn't be any worse.
My onc. prescribed Aromasin. Doing fine on that. I will eventually get my ovaries removed.
I remember having to choose which anti-estrogen therapy, whether or not to participate in the SOFT trial, whether or not to take Lupron / ooph...big decision!!! I just read everything I could find, asked the wonderful people on this board for help (just like you did!), and went with my gut.
Good luck!
Mindy
