Sorry to butt in on your conversation, but I am about to start my treatment which includes goserelin as an injection every 28 days. My oncologist did say that I could look at removing ovaries altogether once Ive gone through chemo and Im ready to make that decision. I was just wondering if you have had any major side effects of removing them? Seems like a good solution to me, but am wondering what this sudden change does to the body?lgray3911 said:Hi lemonade we have had very similar treatments and I decided to get my ovaries and tubes removed. My own choice not suggested by any specialist. I was diagnosed at 37 and premenopausal and for me the thoughts of getting an injection every month to shut a functioning part of my body down was too much! I worried about the long term effects and freaked out about it! Plus my cancer was oestrogen positive so no brainer for me. It was keyhole surgery and I was out the next day with no pain. Am now just on 1 tablet a day instead! Works for me! Xx
