Hello Mich74 and welcome to the online community.

I see you have already joined the Triple Negative Braest Cancer goup and I hope you get your answers there.

What a good friend you are. And how useless I am by comparison. I’m not a medic and can’t answer those questions but I know someone who might. Why don’t you try posting your question to one of our digital nurses (don’t worry, they are real nurses. They just work online)

Good luck!

Thank you Daloni

In the meantime mich74, I have found the following for you

" It is important not to become pregnant while you are having treatment and for a few months afterwards. Goserelin is not a contraceptive and, even if your periods have stopped, you could become pregnant while you are having treatment. "

Zoladex is the brand name for Goserelin.

I hope thsi helps, but of course using the expert nurse service is still good to answer any questions.
