Hi,  Im 35 years old, ER positive, A mutation in a BRC, had breast cancer for the second time this may 12, 2008 was my last chemo. I have been in Tamoxifen for the second time and monday was my follow appointment and my doctor recomended me to get lupron+aridimex.  I did my fertility treatment before i went into chemo.  I have 8 embrios.   Want to be able to get pregnant or use them but things got a litle complicated since the doctor said that lupron+aridimidex lower my recurrence by 35% which is a lot but 85% of the woman gets their period  back. Whats are the most common side effects?  My Onco suggested that bc I was i tamoxifen the first time and i got the cancer back in the same breast but different part, And we dont know if is a different cancer or the same one. Does anybody have had the same situation or similar?  Whats best for me to do? Should I get it for just couple months and then go back to tamoxifen?  Need help Please, very Disoriented

    A friend of mine harvested eggs, and had embryo's.... she did chemo, and then had an oopherectomy, and is now pregnant with no ovaries. It took two tried to get the embryo to attach to the uterus, but this is definitely an option for you.

    First, I'd check out www.fertilehope.org

    I can probably put you in touch with my friend too... send me a PM.

    Since you're new just some advice-- when you want to give your personal contact info, send the member a private PM by clicking their name. The whole world can see your number, so you may want to delete that post-- I know, I know, but there are some weirdo's out there....
