Hi Carol,
I'm 38 and have been on Zoladex and exemestane (aromasin) since about Aug/Sept last year. I've found it all ok. Concentration is completely fine but my memory is crap. But I blame chemo for that!

I'm still considering removal of ovaries, but my oncologist is not a supporter of this at my age. The injections are simple enough. Emla cream 45mins before does the trick, hardly feel them.
All the best
