Hi Louise, I am faced with the same situation. I have been on Zoladex for only 1 month and no side affects to date, so not sure how long it takes (if at all) for any affects to take place. The oncologist advised that I should look at removing my ovaries, but also the risks of uterus cancer because of Tamoxifin (which I am also on). So I just wonder - why don't they say hysterectomy! But then he mentioned that I will need to take Aromatase (I am pre-menopause). I walked away very confused.
I spoke to my GP about this, and she is referring me to a gynecologist oncologist who I will be able to have a 'plain' conversation about all this and hopefully make an informed decision.
I want to be able to make the best decision for myself.
Please keep us up to date, as I will do same.
Georgia :)
