Hi Rupali,

My periods did return after 6 weeks on Tamoxifin. Because the studies comparing the use of ovary shut-down for pre-meno women with early stage disease vs. the current standard of care (Tamox only), my Onc has NOT considered this an option for me. We have talked about it a bit and given that Tamox is not as effective for Her2 disease, I'm not sure that I'm happy with her conclusion. BUT, there are many pre-meno women who do have their ovaries shut-down thru shots or removed in order to ensure that they are post-meno.

Not sure that this helps. I'm not worrying about the return of my period. I suppose there is reason to worry, but frankly, I'm sick of worrying. Maybe I'll take it up again after the holidays.
