Pre-Menopausal Switch From Lupron to Oophorectomy

mikainsb

I would like to hear from pre-menopausal women who did extended Lupron therapy and ultimately had an oophorectomy regarding their experience with the switch.

I did Lupron for three years and found it awful. I never slept more than 90 minutes at a time, the hot flashes were unbearable, I gained thirty pounds and generally felt under a dark cloud. I am now looking at having an oophorectomy due to a metastases.

I would like to hear from other pre-menopausal women who have made the same switch and I would like to know if any ultimately found the oophorectomy to be more comfortable in terms of side-effects than Lupron.

Thank you sisterhood.
