Hi there

Well he is sort of right they are only licences for 6 months use at a a time ,however they are of course used for longer I've been on zoladex now for 2 years .

I assuming your consultant prescribed it in the first place I would try and contact them via secretary to ask them to send a letter to say it's ok to stay on until surgery if it is working that is .

All the best
