Anastrozole - should I take?

My surgeon said that ovaries are connected to somehow breast cancer. They have seen it spread there to ovaries.

He also suggested redoing my breast implants. My breast implants were done around 1995 Mayo Clinic by Head Surgeon Dr Paul Schnur. They seem to be holding up pretty good so far, but he said like old tires 🛞 gradually deflate. Ugh 😩

What is you cancer type? Did you do MamnaPrint? When diagnosed? What do you take? Age?

Thanks for reaching out.

I read this: Before the menopause, oestrogen is mainly produced by the ovaries.

If the ovaries are removed, or if they are stopped from working, there’s less oestrogen in the body to help the cancer to grow. This is ovarian suppression.

Thanks your reply! Mine is IDC and DCIS - ER and PR positive at 99% respectively and Her2-.
I’m just about about 2 years out from initial diagnosis. Had lumpectomy and radiation. No chemo but they were not able to get oncotype because they divide tumor into 16 blocks!
Samples are then too small!
And as might be apparent I still have my ovaries … hence my question. Thanks again for sharing.

Also … I’m taking tamoxifen as I didn’t tolerate AI’s. Initial diagnosis at 64 and no genetic connection.
