Re: Hysterectomy for triple positive bc

Wow ladies thanks you so much for all of your feedback, I truly appreciate it. You are all so knowledgable!! In terms of hysterectomy versus oopherectomy, I do have fibroids and my uterus does sit posterior so I do get back pain from it. Plus my periods are so bad, I basically hemorrhage for 2 days. I know it's a bigger surgery but to not have periods again would be wonderful! I see my gynecologist in May and will discuss with her what she thinks would be the best thing to do. I basically have no risk factors for breast cancer, except my diet was not the best(high in sugar and did not eat my fruits and veggies as much as I should), my BMI is 20, I had my kids younger, breastfed all of them, don't smoke, no Cancer at all in my family, I exercise. I have since changed my diet, buy organic and increased fruit and veggie intake, decrease red meat intake, also take vitamins, Baby Aspirin, had my Vitamin D level drawn and was low so now take Vitamin D too. Changed my deodorant as soon as I was diagnosed. I did drink alcohol on a regular basis so now I do not drink during the week at all and if I feel like a glass of wine or two on the weekend I have it. Anyway, thank you so much for your feedback!
Best wishes....
