I was triple positive and premeno until chemo put me in chemopause. Have been taking Lupron shots to keep me there so that I can take arimidex. Was told from the very begining this would be the best course of action for me. Surgeon was oposed to having ovaries out for a number of good reasons which has shown to be a wise decision on his part since mast surgery. Hot flashes almost all gone, estradoil (sp) levels exactly where they want them. Side effects from Arimidex, stiff joints very bad in morning and each time I get inactive. Get better when I get up and move. Seems to be getting better and hopefully will go away all together. Others have told me it does eventually go away. So I have hope I won't continue looking like my teenage sons grandmother instead of their mother!
