Tricia,
I am triple positive and was recommended not to go on tamoxifen because it does not work as well with herceptin as AI's. I was 45 at dx and chemo put me into menopause. I asked about having ovaries removed. Surgeon and Onc wanted to wait to see where I was in menopause after chemo was complete. Testing indicated I was far enough into menopause that Lupron shots should keep me there . I have had two shots (three months apart) and will probably have two more and be done with shots and menopause!
Lupron may not be an option for you if you did not have chemo--but all that I have read indicates that AI's are better for triple positives and there are several women on this board who have had ovaries removed.
