Hi Jan,
With the Zoladex injections they are approx $34.00 a month from the chemist and on top of that if your doctor charges a fee then there will be that cost also.
For women they tend to do them monthly as it seems to work in accordance with the monthly cycle even though it stops that.
I am still undecided about having my ovaries out as I am going to be 46 and I am approaching that age of menopause anyway. Considering the fact that I have secondary cancer, I am not sure if I am prepared to go through with a surgery.
Everyone is individual with their menopause symptoms. I am in medical menopause and apart from the hot flushes really annoying me sometimes on really hot days, I haven't found it to be a problem but I do know others have been through a rough time. If you know what your mum went through when she was menopausal, the chances are that you may be similar to her. Even though my menopause was forced on me, I feel that I have been quite lucky with my symptoms.
Good luck with your decision and treatments. Hope all goes well.
Take care.
