Default Menopause and Seizures

I am scheduled to have a hysterectomy with removal of my ovaries (oophorectomy) on Monday for possible endometrial cancer, which will put me into immediate menopause. I am 39 and am afraid of having a change in my seizures due to the surgery. I have nocturnal simple partial seizures and take Keppra. The seizures have been very controlled. I am unsure if I can take HRT due to some other medical issues, and I am most concerned that the lack of hormones will make my seizures worse or uncontrollable. I am finding conflicting info online about seizures becoming better or worse. Although nothing is guaranteed, I was hoping someone else had any information about what to expect regarding seizures with menopause, particularly surgical menopause, either on or off HRT. Thank you for any advice.
