Re: Help!!!

You are very young to get the ovaries removed but the shots do shut them down very well and then you can use the Femara. You can always get them removed later but you can't get them pasted back in.

What about Faslodex? I am not familar with the effects of Navelbine, only Herceptin so I can't chime in on that.
