DLL - Thanks for starting this thread. Becky, thanks for the info on your experience with the surgery.

I too am considering ooph since I have developed a cyst in my ovaries. They tell me it is a simple cyst and will go away on its own but now the worry has set in. There will be another ultrasound in two months to review the cyst.

I am weakly ER+ (~10%), and so I was never given Tamoxifen. I have been regular with my periods within two months of the chemopause.

Did you or anyone here experience any crazy (literally ) side effects of ooph...

love,
shobha
