Thank you for responding! I made a decision and feel good about it. ..
I will be having my ovaries out in Aug, but had Lupron shot last week and will next month prior to the surgery. I will be starting Tamoxifen next week.

Many factors why I decided to have ovaries out ( wont have to worry about ovarian cancer, surgery is more 1 and done, cost wont continue for years,etc) but have to say really looking forward to the " benefit" of birth control since I can't take anything else. My husband and I just had our 20th wedding anniversary, but we will need a "real" celebration in a few months.

I read about all you strong women out there who overcome all these symptoms so you are all giving me hope that I can do it too!
