I am at a crossroads. As I once wrote here, I think I am well over 50 but still have functining ovaries---in spite of many chemos over the years. I took tamox. 9 years ago after primary dx, took for 3 years but quit it. It did not fail me, I just got too depressed on it. I am eligable for hormones because of er and pr + but being pre or peri menopausal (according to blood tests) it limits me. What do you think about oophorectomy (ovary removal) as a means of "pulling the plug" on the estrogen? I am very serious, it is an option , rather than using zolodex, ect. I would like to hear from you who have actually chosen this option.
