I had a mastectomy and diep reconstruction three years ago and have been taking zoladex monthly and tamoxifen daily. Today I was told that after two more injections I no longer need to take zoladex. I’m 45 and despite the hot flushes have actually enjoyed not having periods. Are they likely to come back? How long do they take to come back? Is there a withdrawal symptoms to look for? Does anyone have any experience please?
Hi
I see that you have already been posting in our Breast cancer and Breast cancer for the under-50s groups. You may want to post your question in these groups as this will open up your concerns to a wider audience who know exactly what you are going through at the moment.
How can I copy and paste my question. Can’t work it out!
Depends on what type of device you are using. If it’s a smart phone hold your finger on the first word and this will be highlighted then you can drag to get all the text then press copy. Then you can open up the links and start a new discussion - hope you can do it.
It worked. Thank you. Posted as suggested I think!
