Tricia,

They did blood work to see if I was far enough along in menopause that Lupron would "push" me on thru. My surgeon was really against another surgery to remove ovaries. My last blood work shows that I am almost completely thru menopause and soon will be POST Meno. Hot flashes and all that good stuff has really slowed down. Evidently you don't have to be completely thru to start AI. I started Arimidex in November after completing rads.

Worth looking into. I'll try to find some articles on herceptin and AI's and post them for you.
