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 ...

Hi @fairydust
having the ovaries removed is a relatively simple op. Side effects are you will be in permanent menopause. I'm having a full hysterectomy next week. Simply because my ovaries still want to be active & removing the uterus reduce the risk of cancer going there as well.
Yes totally get the appointment schedule! I feel like every other day I'm at the clinic being seen by a different specialist team!! But then I think thank god they are all over this like a bad rash!
The compression sleeve is a good investment.
Best of luck with your decision making.
Kind regards
