2 years ago I was 40 and had only an oopherectomy. It was done laproscopically and so simple. Dr. ended up sending me home instead of hospital stay. I was up and wanted to be about the next day, but my husband made me rest. Able to do lite errands/stuff by 2nd day. Went on a girls weekend 1 week later! By the way, this is what the dr. said I could expect.
My onc. who is very conservative recommended full hysterectomy. My gyn (who is the one the hospital nurses use) said hysterectomy was not necessary unless I wanted it. He said because I wasn't on tamoxifen, BRCA 1&2 -, no family hx of female cancers that I was very low risk for uterine cancer. He said if I was the 3% that gets uterine cancer, is easy to cure with hysterectomy at that time. I do get pap smears every 6 mos. now.
good luck with decisions
