Hi all it’s my first time posting so bare with me! Is anybody having goserelin injections at the mo? I have had 3 monthly injections so far with headaches as side effects and the night time hot flushes are getting a bit much. I am starting to think maybe I should go for the oophorectomy. Has anybody stuck with the injections and the side effects get better or did you opt for surgery??

Hello Charlotte, I have had 2 injections so far and do feel hot most of the time, not just at night, I suffered from migraines before and the 2nd injection seems to have exacerbated these. The worst thing for me was the low mood, but this has not been so bad after my second injection, my body must be getting used to lower/loss of oestrogen. I am due next monthly injection on 16th and in Dec they will change to a 3monthly dose…bit skeptical, once its done there is no getting away from side effects…were you offered the oophorectomy?
best wishes
