I got rid of mine. Though I was perimenopausal before hand the last step was a doozy.
I don't know if I have the gene, but my cancer did return after 10 years. I'd already had 2mx, chemo and Tamoxifen. This time more surgery, chemo rads and Femara. The last straw for me as the talk of having Zolodex for three years. Thanks, but I'd rather they come out.
No surgery is without risk and being crashed into full oldladydom has not been comfortable. Marg
