Hi Lauri -
Like you I am er-/pr- and recently asked my onc her thoughts on whether I should have my ovaries removed. She did not recommend it because I was er- and she didn't feel there was much proven benefit.
I am relieved that my period has returned and feel that after 6 months of chemo and 2 months of radiation and 10 months of herceptin that my body is finally bouncing back. I have 2 more herceptin treatments and then hopefully my port can be removed. Looking forward to my "new" normal life at age 45! I was dx'd 4/04, 1.4 cm, lumpectomy, her 2+++, 1 micro met to the sentinal node, ancillary disection, had 4 AC, 4 taxotere, 37 rads and herceptin for a year.
All the best in your decisions.
Tami
