I am 47 and I have been diagnosed with HER2 + and oestrogen + breast cancer, grade 2 stage ductal invasive stage 0/1. I have gone down a rabbit hole of investigating having my ovaries out instead of having Zoladex for 5 years. What correlation is there between breast cancer and increased risk of ovarian cancer? Are there any stats? I have read that there is an increased risk of OC if you have BC but that is it. I have read that having ovaries out can cause problems as well so feel this is a decision not to be taken lightly. I am currently 2 cycles through of 6 cycles of chemo and this is adding to my anxieties. Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.

Hi, did they mention hormone tablets for 5 years too? I had with Zoladex 2 years together with Letrozole.
