Hi Louise

I have been having Zoladex since February and my Oncologist "suggested strongly" to consider having my ovaries out once my side effects had settled down. I'm 52, don't need them so asked my GP who also agreed so when I can face another surgery (simple day surgery I'm told) I will have this done.

I'm keen to hear what other ladies say about this so thanks for asking the question.

Good luck with your treatment and recovery.

Cyber hug,

Karen
