Is anyone out there taking zoladex as an alternative for tamoxifen?

    Lorrie I am on Zoladex
    since I am poor metabolizer and not post-menopuasal yet. I am 48. Zoladex is given with aromatase inhibitors to repress ovaries and put you into menopause. Instead of ovary removal I have chosen Zoladex shot. I had my first shot least Wednesday. I will start Arimidex next week.

    Thanks
    I will talk to my onc about this on 7/1 when I see him again. Maybe this will work for me also. Thanks for responding and God bless.
