I'm 38. Have finished active treatment ( bilateral MX with DIEP, 4AC And 4 DD Taxol, 36 rads. Complication from rads- radiation pneumonitis). Just got my port removed today. I'm BRCA neg.

I'm getting Lupron to shut off my ovaries and taking Aromasin (AI inhibitor). I'm considering a total hysterectomy in February. I figure if I'm getting injections to shut my ovaries off, why not just remove them. As for the rest of my insides (uterus and cervix) I figure the less I have for cancer to come back in, the better off I am.

But I'm concerned about side effects and recovery thoughts. I'd love any advice or opinions on this.

Thank you.
