Yes. Along with uterine lining thickening. Turned out ok. @A MyBCTeam Member I was not ready to have my overies removed at the time I was diagnosed. My oncologist felt it prudent to do so. My fear was I had just gotten married, had new job and decided to have children. Chemo took my mentsryl cycle way so I mourned the fact I could never physically have children. I was in menopause by the end of my 36 th year. I think if I were to advise anyone, I would advise realy getting your feelings in check ask a lot to of questions on what the pros and cons are medically and emotionally. It's a tough choice. Much luck with wreselting that decision. Also just one more thing it may not have had anything to do with itmy reocurance since it didn't come back in n my breast and it did not come back before 7 years, I was stage IV at diagnosis. But it's in the back of my mind that maybe if the were removed instead of stopped work because of chemo maybe it wouldn't have come back so soon. Though I know 7 years cancer free would have made it l as likely of a return. So find out the medical pros and cons and get your emotions inlign. That is the best you can do. I am sorry I muddied the waters there.

...and, lastly: @drewcobi, as I understand it, Tamoxafin has the BEST statistical success in the breast for premenopausal er+ women, and that's why it's a near-absolute go-to in the years emmediatly following surgery (most likely period for recurrence). There's also the side- fact that it's lack of ability to demineralize your bones by way of universally blocking estrogen would be be official to women on the younger side such as yourself ( like that? I just called you 'young' ;0) )
The newer research I mentioned previously is specific in that it recommends moving from Tam to an AI only AFTER 2-3 years, that window where Tamoxafin use is best for minimizing local recurrence during its greatest risk. After local recurrence risk drops off, it's an even playing field between local and distant mets risk, and ooferectomy or chemical shutdown plus AI is more successful than Tam alone.
It seems to me that post-intensive tx statistical maneuvering is all in the timing.

U ladies just gave me something to think about.
