I suppose it is always an option, but at that time, with the information we had, the repercussions of early menopause outweighed the potential benefits. Now, with the axillary recurrence and knowing that tamoxifen didn't stop tumor growth in my case, ovarian suppression along with an AI is the best option. Good luck finishing up rads and I hope things are going well. Jen.

I am still doing my radiation now and found your posts very helpful :-) <br />Just wondering, did you think about ovarian suppression the first time you were diagnosed? did any doctor recommend it? I find it really unnerving that my period is already back (and my tumor was strongly ER+). Of course, I will start taking Tamoxifen, but still, it's annoying...<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Maryam<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4962606247052518889.post-3535846862666104162013-12-22T03:34:14.997-07:002013-12-22T03:34:14.997-07:00Overdose away on fun!
