As I understand it, your ovarian function must be suppressed in order to take aromitaise inhibitors such as arimidex or femara. Suppression can occur through drug suppression as you are doing or surgically removing the ovaries. The aromitaise inhibitors work better for Her2neu+ patients. I was told by 2 oncs I could get lupron shots for 2 years and then if my menses returned I would need to have my ovaries removed. I was 40 at the time and so decided to just have my ovaries removed. Easy surgery and recovery. Mine was done laproscopic 2 years ago.
