Is ovary removal a viable option instead of hormone therapy?

i have been told I need to stop oestrogen production and offered a drug to do this called letrozole in which the side effects turn me right off accepting. Has anyone had their ovarys removed instead ...

Don't feel any different funnily enough! Clearly my poor little ovaries (whilst I was peri-menopausal) weren't doing much.

Oestrogen can still be generated by body fat and we, as women carry more of it....that's why still Tamoxifen.
