What % positive is her ER/PR ? This could help you decide if oopherectomy is the way to go.
Many women opt for the oopherectomy regardless of their ER/PR status... I was Dx'd with <10% ER+ PR- and the onc put me on Tamoxifen but did not recommend oopherectomy. Just recently, we decided that the Tamoxifen was not going to help me.
You will see that cancer literature changes ALL THE TIME and therefore tx's change all the time.
Sometimes the info can be overwhelming, but you get used to it and find your way... Perhaps at some point, you may want to get a 2nd opinion. Many of us on this board opted for several opinions in order to come up with the best Tx. I will say however, that this board has been incredibly helpful in allowing me to figure out what to do next. At any given time there is at least one person on this board that has been or is going through what you are.

Warmly,

Maria
