Hi @modonnellreynol, welcome to Connect.
Allow me to bring in @miyonggilman and @gwinter, who have had an oophorectomy, as well as @chowmama2 and @leannn who have experience with early stage ovarian cancer.

Technically speaking, if you've been diagnosed with low grade, stage 1 ovarian cancer, having surgery to remove your ovaries (oophorectomy) is not prophylactic (preventative), but rather the treatment. Typically stage 1 is first treated with surgery. Low grade may not need further treatment after surgery. Here's further information from the American Cancer Society https://www.cancer.org/cancer/ovarian-cancer/treating/by-stage.html

@modonnellreynol, is there a reason you are worried about having surgery, like fertility and the possibility of having children?
