Took forever to get that part done. I chose both ovaries because pregnancy wasn't something for me any more. I was probably between 48 and 50.
I then had breast cancer later. So its been interesting. The menapause
it credited wasn't a problem.

I'm glad the surgery was done on your own terms. It was convenient that they could get your gallbladder out at the same time, too.
I'm not going to have children so I wouldn't worry about that part of removing an ovary if the subject came up, but I'm only 35 so hormone replacement would be an issue.
They're still unsure of the culprits behind most cancers. I'm sorry you had to go through that Donna
