I understand. Any plans to take ovaries out or hysterectomy as a precaution? I was 54 the first time around so had DMX and ovaries/tubes out. I’m 66 now and glad I did both.

I had the bso a year ago. It’s was a fast surgery and the recovery was short. It’s the DMX that scared me. But I’m ready now. I’m 63 so I plan to go flat, probably easier to detect recurrence. I wished I had the courage to go through DMX back then. I’m still uneasy of being knocked out unconscious by anesthesia. Weird that it creates a hole in time, no memory, no dream, just blackout.
