You may want to ask your question on this board...

I was 36 when first diagnosed. No one mentioned removing my overies then, but I wish I did. Four years later, I had a recurrance. I was to weak and had lung problems (mets), so the surgery was out of the question. I have taken Tamoxifen and my period came back. I am now on Femara and take Lupron shots (once every three months) to shut the overies down. I do get energy surges (hot flashes) every once in a while, but mood swings are not a problem. If your done having kids and hate latex, this may be a good choice for you. For every problem, there is a relief, you just have to ask.
