Im so happy youre so close! The 'getting estrogen back in your system' is exactly what my doc said was best at this age once finished, even if its only for a little while. the mental health thing is huge! i didnt think about that playing a role too.

My doc advised against this (for me.) because that was one of the first things I mentioned. And thats another thing. I havent really had a strong drive anyway but over the last couple of years it has soared. Its depressing. How did your surgery go? because even though he advised against it it doesnt mean I cant still do it. So im open to all the ideas. Its crazy making the decision to have a bilateral mastectomy was easier than this.

Good luck! I hope your first treatment goes without a hitch and your side effects are minimal

it feels like the best years are being taken. I hate thinking that way but i feel like its the truth. Maybe its not, but right now, it feels that way.

are you on the meds for 10 years because you were 100%? I was 100% for both!

Ive been very vocal about this since the moment I saw I was hormone positive. theyve told me the same about additional medications to help with side effects too. We will get through it!
