When to have your ovaries removed
I saw my oncologist today. She is pressuring me to have my ovaries removed. I have the bracken 2 gene. I agree but....I have just finished a year of treatment. I may be going on to a trial with Peter ...
I had mine out just before Christmas. Wasn't a big deal. Well, the last step into menopause is a doozy, but the operation itself didn't knock me around. I had a bit of pain in my shoulder for a day (from the gas they use to inflate your abdomen during surgery) and the stitches in my navel gave me the irrits until we pulled them out but apart from that it was fine. I was driving in a couple of days. I'm 53 BTW..
