Oh, you are so right about the long-term effects of any of our treatments. I pray, take a deep breath, and do what my trusted onc recommends (I still do tons of my own looking into things, mostly because it’s interesting, but I’m not a doctor and my oncologist is wonderful and experienced and happy to talk to me about my questions and concerns). At the end of the day, I’d rather suffer the consequences of action rather than inaction. Hugs to all 🤗

I agree, like you I felt that I might have consequences down the line from treatments (I most certainly do, 20 years from original diagnosis) but I was in my 30s young and strong and I wasn’t ready to not fight for my life.
I had the oopherectomy, and took the tamoxifen, then I took the AI as well.
I am not aging as well as I had hoped, but I have had 20 years to whine about it. 20 years with my husband and my family, and living the best life I can every day. I do wish that I had been given more information, as someone posted on another conversation, this learn as you go, isn’t the best.
My only advice is get as much information as you can, make the best decision you can, then be at peace with it. We all have different choices to make and different reasons for choosing them.
Have you decided what treatments you will take?
