I inquiring for my friend who is 40 yrs old, premenopausal, and recently had a bilat mastectomy. She was stage 1, lymph nodes clear, but since she is ER and PR positive,her oncologist has recommended she either have an oophorectomy OR go on Lupron or Zolodex which will shut down her ovaries.

I would like to hear for others who were also premenopausal and if they had this same recommendation.

She is a bit confused because she was told by her surgeon that her path reports were so good that after her mastectomy, her chance of recurrance was like 2%. So of course she thought she was done. But now she needs to consider the estrogen issue and prophylatic measures.

Thanks!
