Re: what is the current thinking on ooph for ER+
I was talking to a Sloan Kettering onc once at a show who said any woman under 50 deemed in menopause from chemo should get the LH, FSH and estradiol levels checked every 3 months. You can come right out of it in a snap.
Yes - I got my ovaries removed because I came right out of it in a snap (my blood work was menopausal 2 months before - we ran the blood to decide on Tamoxifen or Arimidex right after rads were done).
