Hi, I've completed chemo (TCH) and will finish radiation next week. (Herceptin will continue for the full year, of course.) Tamoxifen is next on my treatment plan. I am ER+/PR+/HER2+. I am also age 47 and pre-menopausal, but now in "chemopause". My oncologist has mentioned if there is ever an opportunity to have my ovaries removed, do it! My question is, does health insurance typically cover a surgical procedure to remove the ovaries to shut off the estrogen for a highly ER+ pre-menopausal woman, when there is nothing wrong with the ovaries per se?
Thanks!
