Leoprolide (Lupron) shot monthly or removal of ovaries?

Hello,

I have been on Lupron for a year. There is monthly Lupron, but there’s also a shot every three months. My first shot was a monthly one, but once I tolerated it, I went to every three months. It has not been bad. It is very important to have this if you are pre-menopausal and have estrogen sensitive cancer. I wouldn’t believe everything you read online about Lupron. After several months, I was fully adjusted.

Hi - Do you take anything other than Lupron. I was taking tamoxifen, but the side effects were HORRIBLE, so I just had the shot that last 3 months about 3 weeks ago and am supposed to start armidex but I'm scared. I feel awful from the lupron, so don't want to add anything else too it. I'd be ok with being on just the lupron. I had a very aggressive estrogen + tumor, so want to give myself the best chance possible. It's been a long road with lots of set-backs. They don't tell you want treatment will be like after you get through all that other stuff. Thanks in advance for you reply.
