Hi Sue,
Lumpectomy 30/04/13 with 6 weeks radiation, my oncologist has put me on Tamoxifen. Has told me I will have the same benefit from having ovaries remeoved as chemo, so at 49 I was more than happy to say goodbye to those ovaries that feed my type of cancer. My GP suggested I have uterus out as well, ran this by the onco who agreed so off to see Gyno. He also agreed, so I am booked in for the hamburger with the works on 9th October. My choice of date, 1 week after my daughter does her deb.
I am pleased to have everything out, don't need them, they have served me well. Depending on bone scan being ok I will then go onto Arimidex.
If you need to know anything else, just let me know.
Happy to share any info with you.
All the best
