Oopherectomy vs. Lupron shots?
Hi everyone! I'm trying to decide if I should have an oopherectomy in April after the radiation is finished or have lupron shots and wait until the fall when the kids go back to school. I don't know how I'll feel after the surgery and how the hot flashes etc. will be. I"m a stay at home mom and I don't want to have the surgery right before summer break if it will be hard. Anyone have any advice?
