CMF after surgery side effects

I am 41 and the tumor is 34mm. They did offer ovarian suppression using Lupron but I considered these side effects (going into menopause and then having possibly not actually gone through menopause by the time I am off the meds to then naturally go through menopause) sounds horrible. I am still trying to make my decision btwn CMF with little effectiveness but will be over in 4 months or do the ovarian suppression with no data on the effectiveness and having not great side effects and also having to do it for 7 years. Any advice or thoughts on this is appreciated.

As I said, I would just question the CMF, if you go the chemo route, because there are newer chemo treatments. You are young, so not sure why you are getting CMF.
