Zoladex v Removing Ovaries
Hi everyone,
Just wondering if anyone else is having Zoladex injections and whether they are thinking of removing their Ovaries and if not, what helped you make the decision. I've been having it s...
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 :)
