Definitely talk through the options with your oncologist. I had my ovaries removed a year ago. Diagnosed a year before with ER+/HER2- MBC.

I no longer need the Zoladex injection (yay!), but hot flushes aren't alot of fun. That said, my met has stopped growing and seems to be behaving itself. So worth it for me... not a hard operation. I'm 45. Amanda
