Hello Linn,
I agree with Tricia that if you're ER+, you must take an anti-ER drug, whether it's Tamoxifen or Raloxifene or others and for 10 years - that's the protocol now. I took Femara for 6 in the years the protocol was 5. Take it at night, helps lessen side effects. As to the ovaries that's a question for you and your doctor. Cancer loves estrogen so that must be lessened in your body. Watch the dairy including yogurt and soy.
take care
