There are health consquences to removing ones ovaries at a relatively young age. For me, I decided that removing my ovaries for an UNKNOWN benefit (given that I had early-stage bc) was not worth it. I may have thought differently about it if there was any ovarian cancer in my family, but there isn't.

If you search, you'll find a study that I posted regarding a recent study that followed women who had their ovaries removed and the different health results.

I know it seems to make sense that removing ones ovaries could lead to a better outcome for early stage breast cancer, but given today's treatments, it is unstudied and not supported by solid medical evidence. (Again, the family history makes it a different case.)

Good luck.
