OB GYN

First of all, let me just say, I love Dr Burke! We spent as much time chatting and catching up from last year (the dr. who did my hysterectomy) as we did talking about my ovaries. He has the perfect combination of straight shooting and kindness to paint a REAL picture of what is going on. His agrees with everyone else's recommendation to get my ovaries removed. With the positive genetic testing it really increases my chances for ovarian cancer and the treatment and survival rate for ovarian cancer aren't good. He can do a same day laperscopic (sp?) surgery with about a week recovery time. It gets a little more complicated because this will probably piggy back with my mastectomy or maybe even be done on the same day. But I think this surgery is the least of my worries. Now this will put me into surgical menopause which might be hell. But he also says the chemo is probably zapping my ovaries anyways and it might not be that drastic of a change. I might already be going through a more gradual menopause right now. Over all I felt really good about the appointment. I meet next month with the surgeon who will do my mastectomy and he will at that time refer me to a plastic surgeon.
