Re: Am I crazy to keep my ovaries

Hi leah- sorry I can't help as I kept my uterus but lost my ovaries, I really wasn't offered a full hyst and didn't ask at the time but my Onc felt that I was so highly positive I really needed to get rid of the ovaries and reduce the estrogen as much as possible, it was the right move for me and I have no regrets. I hope someone else can advise you more.
