Breast Cancer, Zoladex (Goserelin) is good or not?

Hi everybody,

The oncologist recommends Zoladex (Goserelin) to be injected in her body once a month on the top of Tamoxifen to shutdown the ovaries. He said It reduces significantly the recurrence because she is under 50 years old and ER+.

Considering that she has to go for this injection once a month and the side effects, is it worth it?

We are out of the Country now, do you know if Zoladex covered in Canada?

Thanks

I think that sounds extreme. Shutting down the ovaries just throws the endocrine system into imbalance. She doesn't need to completely block the estrogens in her body (and yes, there is more than one "estrogen". it's not just one hormone, it is a family of hormones). What she needs to do is make sure it's balanced with her other hormones. And that the primary estrogens in her body are the healthier, weaker estrogens. She also needs to make sure that she is producing or getting enough progesterone.
