I haven't been gene tested but opted to have my ovaries out before starting AI. I've had a recurrence after 11 years and was quite happy to get rid of my ovaries as I was perimenopausal and didn't want to stuff around with Zolodex. It won't have made much, if any, difference to my BC outcomes but has simplified my treatment (I've had enough jabbing, stabbing and prodding to last a life time) and I can stop worrying about whether I'm at increased risk of ovarian cancer.
