Can't have laproscopic oopherectomy???
Hello Sisters,
I had a prophylactic double mastectomy w/axillary node dissection on March 20. Pathology says ER 90% and PR cells staining as 1+ 40%,2+10%. Have hade the neo chemo A/C and 12 taxol/herceptin.Currently on herceptin and tamoxifen. Next is radiation. DIEP reconstruction in 8 months. I would like to have my ovaries removed to reduce the estrogen. My gynecologist says she can't do a laproscopic ooph because of my previous 3 c sections. (I am saving my abdominal skin for my recon.-I don't want a big scar) Should I seek a second opinion about this or can it still be done? Any estrogen still in my body is making me nervous......
