Hi Marcia,

In my case, since I am weakly ER+ (5% to 10%), my Onc and my OB. told me not to get ooph. They told me that side effects, especially, related to cognizance were not worth it. If I were strongly ER+, they would have considered it.

But, I often get cysts on my ovaries and so, every 3 months, I have an pelvic ultra sound. So far, most were simply cysts, some were a little complex, but they always disappear within the 3 month period.

Evista is my other tool against the hormone and to build the bones.

Wishing you the best!

hugs,
shobha
