I just had my uterus and ovaries removed on monday. I had three contributing factors that made my desicion for me. If I would have only had one or even possibly 2 I would have kept my ovaries. I am 43 and am scared of a life without estrogen but am also scared of it bringing my cancer back. My onc and gyn said it would be easier to combat the other problems than cancer and I agreed. This choice is truely an individual one. We all need to decide what is more important, what can we personally cope with better. It's hard but I'm sure you will come to a conclusion that is right for you. Good luck.
PS go laproscopically (sp) if you can, I had to do abdominally and it's a $^#%&&% lol
