Hi
After my private second opinion and TVS with the consultant, my NHS consultant thave agreed to keep my ovaries and have made me aware of the risks of doing so and that they may need to be removed due to histology or appearance during surgery. (Surgery was recommended to be carried out via NHS rather than private)
I feel a lot more comfortable going in as though fertility is not in my control,I'd like to avoid the menopause due to my age so feeling hopefull amidst this hopeless situation.
My consultant unexpectedly rang me today to see how I'm doing etc and if I'm ready for the surgery this Thursday. I think it may have been because I had previously rescheduled it by a week due to not being ready. Although I wasn't expecting the call, I'm glad they rang as I was thinking of rescheduling it again in my stress to the lead up.
I would like to know if there are any specific questions that I should ask prior to surgery.
Also, what are people's experiences in keeping their ovaries
Thank you very much
