Oophorectomy this week

I have PALB2 so I will be having an Oophorectomy because of a 7 times higher incidence of ovarian cancer.

I’m 42. I was putting it off and trying to make it to 45 for my heart, since my doctor told me there’s not a ton of evidence one way or another to guide when to remove my ovaries.

Last year my co-parent died of cancer. Between that and the current state of healthcare I pulled the trigger. I’m getting my ooph’s ectomied Wednesday.

If you opted to remove your ovaries or had to because of your gene mutation, how was it? I heard I probably won’t notice the difference. Especially since my ovaries are shrunk due to over a year of Zoladex.
