Hi, I was wondering if anyone here has faced this delemma. I have Stage IV ER+ and Her2+ bc. I am on femara (had been on tamoxifan in the past) and I get herceptin every 3 weeks. Was originally diagnosed in 1989 Stage I DCIS and the cancer recurred in 1999 and spread to the pleural lining of my left lung. I went to my gynocologist yesterday and she suggested that because of my history I should have a hysterectomy and have my ovaries removed. I talked to my onc and she agrees that that would be a good idea. I feel kind of punched in the stomach. April it will be 5 years since my recurrence and all this time no one has ever mentioned that I should do this. I don't know what the right thing to do is. Do I do this major operation "just in case", or wait it out? I was wondering if anyone else here has faced this, or done it and how it has worked out. I am also facing a possible recurrence to my back. I had an MRI done on Monday and there was a suspicious spot, am going for a bone scan next week hopefully to rule out milignancy. Please respond. I am scared and nervous. Thank you
