Hi Terry, In my case it was a total hysterectomy - ovaries, tubes - the works.... I do wonder myself about the fluctuation of estrogen. On another note - my genetic counselor told me that multi-focal tumors were sometimes indicative of BRCA1 or 2 - is there any family history for Ruth? Is that something you have considered? The info is helpful as far as treatment is concerned.
