Hi Bowlingpink-
It seems to me that with your high ER level, you would remain on Tamoxifen... just because you remove the hormone factory (ovaries) may not eliminate the estrogen issue... the body stores estrogen in the adipose tissue - so there is no guarantee that estrogen is totally eliminated with ovary removal.
If your husband wants no more children, then why doesn't he step up and consider a vasectomy and let you treat your cancer without having your ovaries removed.
My husband had a vasectomy and in no way has that procedure affected his "performance".
