Better to have ovaries shut down?

Seen BC nurse today, started spotting five weeks ago for one week and this week again (I’m 44 and on Tam since 04/2012), it looks as my ovaries start functioning again, she said to see BC surgeon in five weeks and see if there is a period like pattern to it and he might suggest to shut the ovaries down, but probably not as I was only weakly ER pos (4/8), she said they used to do it but think now there is not enough benefit.  But it might be up to me how I feel about it.  Now I like to get info about it before I see him, maybe it’s a good idea?

 

Anyone any thoughts?
