Ovaries switched off!!!

Got called back to the hospital today, met Dr Dean herself (very nice), even though the chances of me having children now are even more remote than B.C. (before cancer) she suggested that I try to protect my ovaries in order to at least keep my options open... a little pellet is injected into my stomach every 4 weeks (ouch - big needle!) and the drug (Zoladex) basically 'turns off' my ovaries and in doing so they stand a much better chance of being protected from the nasty chemotherapy drugs.
So, it is official - my ovaries are now turned off... in just a few days time I will start to experience the symptoms of an early menopause, hot flushes etc. Still, it's only for the duration of chemo, so 5 months or so - hopefully! 11 days of a chemo free existence still to enjoy...
