I've been having Zoladex injections for almost 21/2 years.  I had mucinous carcinoma (rare not aggressive) but it showed up in my armpit 2 more times.  Very high ER/PR +.  I've been almost 3years finally without a recurrence.  I want to stop the Zoladex to see if I am in menopause.  I just turned 50 this year.  Hard to believe this all started when I was 44. 

Has anyone been on Zoladex and stopped to find that they are permanently in menopause.  If I am doc says I can stop the injections.  If not I might opt for an oopherectomy.
