I can relate to that! That is why i had an oophrectomy and got on the HERA trial.
I had my ovaries out a few months after chemo and was on Tamoxifen. After a while, and many suggestions by me, I changed to Arimidex. I found the ooph very easy compared to all the previous surgeries(i had 3-4). I am also taking Herceptin late as part of a trial. I started it 18mths late. If i was you i'd aim to have your ovaries out and get on Arimidex or another AI. It seems maybe that is what the Dr is suggesting.
Take care
