Lupron is thought to maybe have some protection but is not proven. I di regain menses but now take Lupron and Femara. I learned from this site that Tamoxifen does not work as well for Her2+++ pts. like myself. I can never say enough about the valuable information on this site. It has inspired me to fight the disease and my Drs.. Drs. it has been studied are the most dangerous things to you. Not that every Dr. is dumb but some will not step out of the box (like mine) until I kept pushing for Herceptin with 2nd and 3rd consults which opened his mind. He does not like to use it for NED pts. which does not make a lot of sense to me (but that is a personal opinion). We need to challenge our Drs., ask questions, get second opinions. Drs. are not God's and unfortunately cancer is very unpredictable. As a post mentioned above it is so hard to give stats because each case is unique. My oncologist jokes and says he left his crystal ball at home today. I have two oncologist whenever a treatment decision has to be made so that I can make informed decisions.
