Hi Cynthia,

That was my husband typing for me and his name is Saurabh and accidentally he finished the note with his name.
Anyway, I met my local oncologist an hour back and she said this always happens with young women on Tamoxifen and this is a sign that the ovaries are still active.
She will talk to my other oncologist who is actually an oncologist in MGH, Boston and also happens to be one of the leading researchers in fields of AI's and Hormone therapy.
She thought that there might be a chnace that they might have to put me on LUPRON once every 3 months together with Tamoxifen.
The main controversial question is that my tumor was weekly ER+ something like 6-7% ER+ from the mastectomy sample. Strange thing was that 15 days prior to my surgery when punch biopsy was done the n they had said my tumor was 80% ER+. So it was always an iffy thing.
I will better go on LUPRON and secure myself from Estrogen side.
I would hate the side effects though.
Regards,
Rupali
