Re: DAUGHTER Triple positive age 28

Hello - sorry she has to go through this! As you can see
I was triple positive too. My oncologist told me the chemo would shut down my ovaries during treatment and it did, but I would certainly ask! As
Soon as I finished chemo I started tamoxifen and when my period returned dr recommended to have ovaries removed so I could take arimidex. I know Treatment is different for everyone and we just have to hope its curative.
I'll be thinking of her and I know she will do well!
