Hi @Cheri
i was on zoladex for a few months probably 8-9 and had my ovaries out - I really hate needles and sometimes found it painful (apparently the bigger bit of flesh they pinch the less painful) it was a time thing for me every month needing the injection having to book and wait and work full time along with all other appointments.

Sending you positive thoughts and love.
