I was DX at 42 yr her2+ 90% er positive stage 1. I had my overies removed in July/07.I was told that being high % or er it was like fertilizer for the cancer and after surgery i could take Femara that was easier on me. The side effect after surgery for me are hot flashes and night sweats.No mood swing(i asked my partner to confirm) and sexually we are now starting to use a lubricant.Overall it's not bad, just an ajustment.Hope this helps.
