P.S.

I also believe that another aspect further confuses the question. I think that ovarian ablation, whether brought about by chemo or surgery or drugs like Lupron, is probably a key factor. So in regard to Laurel's question, even though I may not have needed chemo to achieve ovarian ablation, it may have been the chemo that provided ovarian ablation for me.

I wonder if the study showed any relationship to age range.
