Ovary removal

Hi Galligirl

You could check out this older discussion while you wait some replies.

Thank you

Hi Galligirl,

I had my ovaries taken out in November. I don’t have any family history of breast or ovarian cancer (didn’t stop me being diagnosed with breast cancer at 42). I really didn’t want to have the monthly zoladex injections and as I’d be in menopause after ten years of hormone treatment, it made sense to have it done.

it was a really quick operation with minimal recovery time. I’ve got two small scars on my stomach, but they’re already starting to fade. My gynaecologist thought that it was the right decision and I’m glad that I had the operation.

Good luck today,

Thank you....saw gynaecologist to night who seems happy to remove my ovaries.....I am pleased....the injections are painful and I don’t fancy having them for 3 years. They are also a constant reminder of the bc....and from a mental health perspective I need to move on....

So blood test done, appropriate forms filled....need to talk to insurance but in my head it is goi g to take place in the next month or so...happy....relieved....

Hi,

I had this done in Feb 2018 when I was 45. I agree, easy op and quick recovery. I had 4 small incisions which are hardly noticeable now, Definitely better than that horrible zoladex injection!

Cwtches,
