@mum2jj @Mic80 So glad to hear you have both decided on your surgery & are comfortable with your decision. To have the risk of ovarian cancer removed is such a HUGE relief to me & the recovery & surgery is quite simple also. I know I now have to watch my bone density due to the chance of getting osteoporosis but for my case, it is easier for me to combat this disease compared to fighting ovarian cancer. All of us here have had cancer & many have a family history so it's all about lessening our risk of re-occurrence. I know osteoporosis is a horrible, crippling condition but I now have 2 yearly bone density tests, I walk & run twice a day plus I do Pilates & strength training. My gyny onc said i would have no trouble due to the amount of exercise I do but I do still have regular checkups with my GP & blood tests to check on Vit D levels etc & if needed a supplement can be taken. Good luck ladies & may you both feel a weight of relief lifted after the procedure. love & hugs xxxx
