I was 45 at dx in Feb 05, triple positive. Chemo put me into menopause and my onc put me on Lupron shots to keep me there. Because of other issues, my surgeon did not want me to have additional surgeries, so ooph was not an option at the time.

In Dec 06 my body started trying to come out of menopause, so my three month Lupron shots were changed to monthly. In January my surgeon cleared me for surgery, but my onc wanted me to stay on Lupron instead. At the time he told me there were early indications from current studies that show promising results from Lupron in relationship to recurrence in hormone positive BC. In my meeting with him last month, he told me that it is possible that Lupron may prove to be an even better drug in staving off recurrence than Arimidex. (I am currently on both). There are two trials currently being conducted, SOFT and TEXT. I have not found a lot of information on these to this point, but have not had much time to try either. If I can find more info, I will post the links.

You may want to discuss the posibility of Lupron for ovarian suppression.

I wish you the best.
