I am not sure but I would think not. I am having my ovaries removed next Monday (8/29). However, I am 50% ER and 5% PR. I also just got my menses back and have several cysts on the left ovary. Although my genetic testing came back negative for BRCA 1 & 2, my paternal grandmother and her sister died of ovarian cancer (my mother's side including my mom, 3 of her 5 sisters, my maternal grandmother and maternal great grandmother all have bc - for the record - only my great grandmother and one of my mom's sisters died of the disease - everyone else is going strong. My Aunt who died was a "triple negative" pathology (ie: not ER, not PR , not HER2). Because of having ovarian cancer in the family as well, my gyno wants to remove them and feels the cysts may become troublesome in the future. Also, if your bc is hormone dependent, it is always a better prognosis if you can get yourself in menopause by ovary removal or Lupron/Zoladex.
This decision requires discussion with your gyno and other risk factors like family history
