Has anyone opted to have their ovaries removed being ER- and not carrying the a BRA1 or 2 gene?

Based on family history, 2 aunts deceased from bc one before 50, other 55yrs, cousin with ovarian cancer, I received advice to consider having my ovaries removed even if I test negative for the BRA gene.

Thanks in advance.
