Alice I've never had zoladex but just wanted to respond to bump your question up a little. I did have an oophorectomy last August as a preventative measure and also to take Arimidex. The op itself was no problem with a quick recovery and although I had hot flashes for about a month they have lessoned in intensity and frequency and are very managable. I did have a dexa scan which showed some bone loss so now take fosamax,not sure if that was purely the op or a mixture of chemo and sudden menopause. Good luck with your decision.
