I have a decision to make...

My doctor told me that I would have a better protection against Breast Cancer if I have my ovaries removed with my LAVH. I am having eht hysto because of the threat of cervical cancer and my ovaries are fine. My mother had Breast cancer and my mother's sister also had BC. I am 39 and don't know if I want to go into surgical menopause. Does anyone know where I can get some more info about this?

You may want to check out the Hysterectomy Options and Alternatives Board (click here) at the top there is a great list with links to all kinds of alternatives.

There is also an awesome resource link directory you can get to by clicking here or click Resources at the top of each page.

Read and research as much as possible to help you, in conjunction with your DR, make the best decisions for you.

Best wishes!
