Ovaries-to be or not to be
Hi Judy,
First, my opinion only, if I were you at your age I would still keep my ovaries, unless there was something to consider otherwise. (I AM 49, and kept mine with a hyst this July.) HRT is often no walk in the park, and ovaries continue to provide hormones even after menopause - I'm told.
You might want to check out the Hormone Jungle board for further answers.
As to ovarian cancer - since this is so rare, again I chose to keep mine. But it is a real risk, and one only you and your doctor can weigh for you.
Good luck Judy - let us know what you decide!
Dixie
