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 ...

Hi @Sam09, after menopause your ovaries stop making oestregen but your body makes it in fat tissues, breast tissues & adrenal glands so that is probably why Letrozole was suggested. I have been on it for 6 months & had bad back pain after 2 months & stiffness but it seems to be settling now. I think your body needs time to adjust.
