I have been bugging my onc. to switch me to AIs for MONTHS (have been on tamoxifen for a year and zoladex shots to shut down ovaries for 9 months). She kept saying no, even through no periods and hot flashes since December she wasn't sure I was menopausal.
Flash forward to last week. I asked for an FSH/LH test to send to Patty at UofW so I could work on getting into the vaccine trial. My levels came back at 2.2! I need to be over 20 to be menopausal. I'm not even close! Which scares me since the hot flashes are so nasty!
So I guess she was right. Ladies - watch out. These shots may stop periods but not necessarily put you into menopause. If you take an AI as a premenopausal woman, it could be dangerous. If you really want to be sure, yank the ovaries.
Guess that's the next thing I'm looking at :( .
