Hi Linda,
My wife actually had her ovaries removed just for the therapeutic value of lowering her estrogen in conjuction with Tamoxifen, and later in anticipation of switching to an A.I. So she's ready for the switch, we're just waiting to pull the trigger. We're hoping to get some initial benefit from Tamoxifen and trying to decide if we want to follow the oncologist's two year recommendation.
You may want to discuss your options about chemically shutting down your ovaries or removing them to speed you into menopause, as it is beneficial even if you were to continue with Tamoxifen. This all depends on your particular situation and prognosis though.
Best of luck,
Scott
