I was tested BRCA1 positive (got the result a yr ago) and I had since BM and plan to have to ovaries, removed. Can anyone tell me if I should remove the ovaries now or I can do it in 2 months? I am recovering from mast. reconstruction done in Feb so I want to wait till Sept. to do the ovary removal. I am again afraid if waiting two more months, is riskier thing?

How long does it take to heal from an ovary removal surgiers (hystectomy)?

    I think the most important thing will be to recover from your first surgery before even thinking about the total hysterectomy.  I chose to get the hysterectomy first, recovered for approximately 6 months and then had the double mastectomy.  You need to be strong and healthy to take on another surgery.  But...don't wait tooo long.  You will be very relieved when it is over.  You deserve that.    Nancy

    ovary recovery depends on method of surgery.  vaginal is fastest but not always appropriate.  Lap is second fastest, abdominal is longest but can be better type if view of other organs is needed.

    good luck
