I have gotten conflicting advice about whether to have my ovaries out, and am wondering what others have done. I am 37, er/pr- , her2+++, stage 2 , 2 nodes +. I have had a masectomy and plan on having another w/reconstruction in near future. I get my genetic test back next week. I don't see alot of benefit in having ovaries removed if both breasts are gone. I know that it would help prevent ovarian cancer, but does anyone know if it helps with prevention of breast cancer recurrence? I am done having children, so that is not an issue. I just don't know if I am ready for menopause yet!
thanks
Laurie
