My breast cancer is aggressive and my doc wants me to have my ovaries out asap although i also got a lupron shot. (Currently experiencing bone metastasis.) My surgeon thinks the lupron shot means there’s no urgency. Did you get your ovaries out? If not, why? Open to all experiences in your ovary decision.

      I couldn't take Tamoxifen so my oncologist made me get my ovaries taken out because the cancer was feeding off of the estrogen my ovaries was producing. Also, if you have the BRCA gene, you have a 50% chance of getting ovarian cancer. Keeping you in my prayers! 🙏

      I had a complete hysterectomy after my mastectomy because I had problems with my uterus & because my cancer was feeding off my estrogen however I still have to take hormone suppressor medication as well not sure if that helps or not but that’s what I had to do
