Having ovaries removed?

Lauri,

I had my ovaries removed during my bilateral mastectomy surgery. I am er-, pr- and HER2+++. I have some family history of ovarian cancer so my doctor recommended this to reduce my risk of ovarian cancer.
I am 40 years old and menapause is harder at a younger age, but tolerable. Sometimes wish I had waited at least a few more years, but I would not have done it if I didn't do it right then.
My peace of mind about developing a second cancer in my ovaries has been tremendously improved so that is the plus side.
