Re: Am I crazy to keep my ovaries
you are not crazy for wanting to keep your ovaries - ovarian function protects your heart and bones. It depends on your age, how close are you to natural menopause?
the benefit to ER+ cancers is hotly debated, some say as long as you are on tamox you are fine (you cant strip your body of all estrogen) other say to remove the biggest source. None of my doctors can agree
the SOFT and TEXT trial results being issued at the end of the year should help answer this question for all of us
my MO here wants me to remove and go on Femara as the initial results are saying in pre-meno women it offers a increased benefit. there is a 4% difference. My MO at DF wants me to wait until more results are released
