Hello Ladies--
I've been lurking a while and reading all your informative posts, but now I've got a question.

Even though I'm BRCA-, my onc is recommending an ooph to turn off the estrogen faucet and get me on an AI. I've thought long and hard about it and agree it's the most aggressive I can get, which I feel I have to be with two little ones.

So I've met with the OB/GYN who is going to do the surgery next week and was offered the option to go ooph + hysterectomy. It was presented as "if you're not going to use your uterus anymore, why leave it in there?" The surgery would be done 100% laparascopically so it's minimally invasive.

Does anyone with experience in this arena have advice for me? Should I just get it all out now or stay with the ooph?

I think I'd like to keep my cervix, but I'm not sure why.

Thank you for any guidance you can provide.
