When news came out that an aromatase inhibitor and herceptin worked well together for those of us that are Her 2+ and hormone positive, I wanted to go on an AI (I am ER+ but PR -). It was also well documented that tamoxifen might not work well for those like me. However, I was not postmenopausal so I could not take an AI. Zoladex and Lupron were recommended (so I could take an AI) but I opted to get my ovaries removed. I did this because it seemed ludricious to me to take one hormonal drug just so I could take another (the AI). So, I said no to Lupron (and Zoladex) for that reason. It reminded me of my mother who takes zillions of prescription drugs - some to relieve the side effects of others.
Oh well. Take care.
Best regards
Becky
