There are many things that play into the choice. I did not really have a choice but am glad I did it. They switched me immediatly to Femara. And after five weeks I still have no side affects from it. Yeah! I had to have an abdomial surgery. But I had everything taken and they wanted to look around. There are several ways to remove and the hyster sister site is great. It has all the answers to pre and post op. It does not however really go into hormones or cancer related questions. That is where I get iffy on what to expect. Onc and Gyno are mostly worried about osteo problems but just had a bone density and am in great shape there. But it all really comes down to personal choice. I gues damned if you do and damned if you don't.
