Do BC survivors have higher risk of ovarian, uterine, cervical cancer?

I know they say that lupron is same as surgical/natural menopause side effects but I really do wonder if that is the case. Surgical/natural menopause doesn't have actual drug side effects and its well known that Lupron has its own side effects. Just my 2 cents... For me I can't see doing the shots for years and years so I'm going to go for the ovary removal at some point.

I know! But I’m looking at it from the other perspective 😆
I’ve gotten Zoladex injections (like Lupron) for two years with zero side effects. (I completely understand we can all have very different experiences with the same drug, though!)
For a few reasons, one being I pay $250 a month OOP for the shot, I’m looking at removing my ovaries. I’m worried about that affecting me differently (worse) than the shots, and it’s permanent!
