Ovaries??
Good evening everyone. Had an appointment with my Onc today and we were discussing my treatment for after chemo. He is planning on putting me on Aromasin and back onto the Zoladex as I still have m...
Hi Tracey, Thanks so much for getting back to me. I am wondering now if it is Zoladex my oncologist was referring to when he said I could have a monthly injection to stop my ovaries from working. He said it was $500 - $600 dollars per injection as they are not on the pbs.( I also wonder if it depends on what state you live in, I am in Victoria). I would definetely go with this option if not for the money involved. I am 48 and also probably not far off menopause, but have to do something very soon so I can come off tamoxifen. Don't you just hate these decisions!!! I am glad you are not suffering too many symptoms of menopause, hopefully I won't either as I think my mum went ok, but was told after having ovaries out the symptoms would be likely to be more severe. Anyway I guess I will just wait and see. Thanks again, I really appreciated your reply and will let you know how I go. All the best and take care. Jan
