To Ovary or not Ovary that is the question
So little time so many decisions and options....turns out this little lump was a little bit nastier than expected and hit the grade 3 but hadn't spread to the lymphs. Still she was up there in the hormones (something our home is use to given the 3 girls that reside there). I ended up with a lumpectomy and then a second round to ensure the clear margins...my darling husband now calls me Cadbury....Glass & a half.
So after doing a little light reading I've come across the option to pull out the old ovaries...well I won't be needing them anymore.
I'm just wondering who else might have considered this option or had it done and was it of benefit.
I Should find out shortly about plan of attack with the treatment, but at this stage I'm getting hit with 6 rounds of chemo (would prefer 6 rounds with Mike Tyson), 3 weeks radio and then everyones favourite...hormone treatment for a few years. None of this is really worrying me...now, but just want to explore all options to best prevent this little bugger from coming back.
I've read that it will bring on menopause, but won't the chemo and hormone treatment do this anyway?
Anyway would love to hear your thoughts....Cheers Sal
