Hi @cheri,
I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer (de novo) aged 51 and didn't have to have chemo and radiation. When I first started treatment in March 2023 I had zoladex, letrozole and kisquali not at the same time but gradually. After 4mths I had my ovaries out and am now on letrozole and Kisquali.
The hot flushes and fatigue are still with me but not as potent as they were in the beginning, you can talk to your oncologist about medication to reduce them and it does work. Fatigue is my biggest issue at the moment and I am still working on it.
I thoroughly recommend the removal of ovaries, mostly because I really don't like needles and that was a big one. One thing one of my favourite nurse mentioned was that the more they pinch to inject the less you feel it. Also, it is less pills, needles and medications you need to manage in the long term.
I hope you feel better and stay well!
Regards
Janet
