I had the oopherectomy. I decided to do it because I wasn't planning on having any more children, and I didn't want to do the shots. It was a really easy procedure. I didn't have to stay overnight, and I can't see my scars.

Yay! Lots and lots of great wishes for easy surgery and recovery!

I'm kinda in the same situation I was premenopausal and had a double mascectomy but because of one of my other medications they couldn't give me tamoxifen so I'm on armidex. I've been on the shots for about 7 monthes but have decided to get my ovaries removed, my surgery is scheduled for June 2nd.

Thanks everyone. I decided to just go with the surgery. It's scheduled for next week. Your feedback helped with the decision!

Thank you! I have a pre op appt scheduled but I’m still struggling with the choice. I have tolerated the lupron shots every three months, but it wonder if I won’t have the highs and lows if my ovaries are just gone. The lupron is not without its own set of issues.
Thank you for your help.
