Oophorectomy
Just some questions I'm asking for a friend. A woman I met almost a year ago who I mentored her through breast cancer is thinking about having her ovaries removed. She is hormone positive - her2 negaitve - and is presently taking Tamoxifan. She was Stage 0, DCIS and had her breast removed.
If she would have her ovaries removed would she still need to take Tamoxifan? How is the surgery performed? Side effects of having ovaries removed? Any other things you could share with me would be appreciated.
