Pre menopausal, ovarian suppression & aromasin

Quraine

hi ladies

Anyone here on lucrin & aromasin combo? I'm pre menopausal and due to a study (SOFT - can't copy study but u can find it easily on breast cancer.org), outcomes on these are good for those of us under 35. I'm 34 and have been on this since Dec 16. Am a bit uneasy abt doing lucrin for 5 yrs as the study recommends.and it makes no mention of long term side effects re fertility.anyone here been on this combo?

I'm doing Lupron and an AI. Was premenopausal when BC hit. I'm only a month ahead of you, though, so can't say much more than you already know. Many women on this site have switched around on hormone therapies so that might work for you depending on your needs. Do you have children?

Tamoxifen is very tolerable

I've been for zoladex and arimidex which I think are the equivalent for a year now. I'm 36, was dx at 34. No children. Oncologist says to wait 3-4 years for a break (to have a child) and then go back on. I have embryos stord.She's now saying 10 years of Ht..which I have to say sucks!

Here's a study from ASCO that came out at the end of last year. It disputes the extended use of HT:

You may only have HT for five years!
