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 ...
Good morning @LMK74
I understand that there is a lot going on for you. Those first few months really throw you for a six. So many doctors appointments - Life changes and all the adaptations that go with it.
And everyone makes the best decision that is right at the time.
Ask the doctors what is your risk of reoccurrence. They can let you know by the pathology reports. Talking to a psychologist also helps put things into perspective. Living in fear is not really living at all.
I've just had my femur stabilised and then next week having my hysterectomy so I'm getting everything done so that I can go back to work.
I wish you all the best.
