Good news again
I went to see my oncologist last Tuesday and am very happy to report that my tumour markers are down again. Hurray!
Now, I have to organise another operation! This time to get my ovaries removed...

I had my ovaries out because I've had estrogen positive primary tumours twice (2002 & 2011). The first time I was 34 and my periods never stopped through chemo or 5 years of tamoxifen. I then started getting uterine polyps from my high estrogen levels and anemia from heavy periods. When I got a new breast cancer in 2011 that was over 80% estrogen receptive, my oncologist recommended the ovary removal. The surgeon said they were very robust and healthy looking! I've had genetic testing also but do not have the bc genes. I'm now 44 and on Femara. xx Jane
