Yeah that's what they said, I'm on tamoxifen ATM not really any side affects. My bc had a very strong hormone influence, something like 75% driven by hormones. My periods did stop which I was pleased about because I didn't want to take that zoladex injection. Have thought about having ovaries removed but they say that's really drastic, but I have read a lot of lady's on this site have done it as part of their treatment and they have the same type as me!!! I don't want to cut the other one off, nobody's does right?? But the dense mass scares me. I'm going to write everything down next visit as I tend to forget most things when I go and see him. And just see if I'm over reacting. But I never want them to say, don't worry we got it early but we still have to give u the chemo just in case. Thanks again for getting back to me, I live in the country and don't have access to the breast care nurses and support people .xxx
