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...
I am 6 weeks post surgery from having my ovaries removed. My oncologist recommended that I have Zoladex injections with Tamoxifen, I am 44 and pre-menopausal. when I looked into this as my cancer was 2a and not grade 3+ the government does not subsidise the cost of the injection. The other option was to have my ovaries removed. Before I had this done I got in contact with the Cancer Council who assisted by referring a couple of ladies who had Zoladex injection and another with ovary removal to help me make a decision. Since my ovary removal I have had the odd hot flush, sore feet and bones have disappeared and generally feeling good. I also recommend that you talk to a gynaecologist who has experience in women's cancer. I hope I have helped in some way. Regards Jackie
