    Hi. I'm sorry to hear your *** news.

    lots of people are going through similar journeys abs can offer lots of support and advice.

    I'm 42 and I've got breast cancer and awaiting chemotherapy , radiotherapy and meds after having like loads of tests and one surgery.

    I can't give you any advice on ovarian issues ? Have you got a cancer nurse?? You need to write down any questions ? Outcome ? Treatment? Surgery ? Recovery ?  Family risks etc. They should be able to offer some

    specific answers to your qustsions. As everyone's journey is slightly different.

    you've been given a quick appoitment for surgery which can only be a good thing. Gives you less time to ponder over but not much time to get support.

    Best of Luck for Wednesday.

    much love Efffie x

    You are amazing and strong. They have found that HRT has helped women with full hysterectomies however unless that happens they shouldn't have to prescribe you HRT.
