Having taken lupron in 1988 and 3 laser laparoscopies in 2 years, I can
say that the lupron probably saved my life. Dr. Cameron Nezhat, the
inventor of the Laser lap procedure operated on me once and gave me the
lupron. The lupron is a going to make you moody and out of sorts,
that's for sure. If you really find that it's too much, ask for senoril
(sp) - the nose spray. It's much easier on the nervous system and does
the same thing in getting to the endo and wiping it out. The laser laps
really were very helpful too.
Best of luck and keep smilin'.

but it doesn't. Some women are trying to call the new drug Aromatose
Inhibitors a chemo drug and it is nothing like a cytotoxic drugs or its
effects..I wouldn't wish chemo on anyone and it is an insult to the poor
patients who have cancer and may die....
