Hi, I’m new here
Just wondering, has anyone had an elective (keyhole) hysterectomy and oopherectomy after hormonal breast cancer for preventative reasons? I do not have the BRCA gene but my mum and all my aunts had breast cancer too. I also have (mild) endometriosis. Just wondering what to do.
There seem to be a lot of people still in pain and with UTI/bladder complications months later, which worries me. My surgeon said it’s my decision. Would welcome your pros and cons thanks.
Ps… HRT will not be an option for me.
