Re: Zoladex...
Roz, I beleive that you can stay on Zoladex for up to 5 years - there was a women at my cancer centre that had done that so that she could try for another child afterwards.
I am not saying I wouldn't have done the Ooph anyway but we were moving to remote town with no oncology unit and no possiblity of having the op there either - it was just a decision I rushed because of circumstances rather than taking my time over it. A bit like my mastectomy really happened 6 days after meeting the surgeon and I was pregnant so really not in a headspace to process what was really happening to me!
S**t happens - eh?
