Hello Yvette,

I'm a bit surprized by the statement, "that eventually, my >ovaries may have to come out anyway". Why? My Mom was 83 when she died and She still had her ovaries! Maybe you need a second opinion, from someone seperate, (I mean a completly different practice) from the physician you are seeing now. I would really like to hear what someone else tells you.

You are really a "young women" and I'd like to get more information if I was You..

Let's see what the docs say about this one!
