My Onc and I have been going around and around on the "ovary issue" for the last 2 years. I am 53 and my Onc. feels it is only a matter of a short amount of time until my FSH levels drop and I am post menopausal. He wants to avoid anymore surgery if possible. He feels that the Tamoxifen is doing the same thing that having my ovaries removed would have. I have my hormones checked every 6 months or so. I have reduced my weight by 25 lbs. because I have heard fat produces estrogen, eat a low fat diet and excersize. So I have done what I can, on my own, to minimize the amount of estrogen my body produces. Let's hope that is enough to keep me at NED. Take Care, Linda in Calif.
