Hi @LinLin
yes, I would think it would be standard. You said you were only 41 and having zolodex, so I would assume you haven't gone through menopause yet. I'm 44 and not menopausal and my ovaries are refusing to switch off whilst on zolodex. You want your hormone levels to be at menopausal levels.
i feel pretty good at the moment. My bony mets are not giving me too much trouble - just my femur (it's a load bearing long bone)which has a lesion. So after working it feels sore. I'm having a femur nail done on Tuesday and the Hysterectomy 4 weeks after.
I was offered radiotherapy but because I have no pain in the bone, it was suggested that I save this for later. It's my rainy day
kind regards
