I am about a month away from my surgery. I'm having a prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy and hysterectomy because I carry a gene mutation that increases my risk of ovarian cancer, and I just got through bilateral breast cancer. My breast cancer surgeon, gynecologic oncologist, and regular oncologist all agree that I should have this done. If not, it's surveillance ultrasounds every 3 months and possible biopsies, etc. And I understand that surveillance just isn't good enough to catch ovarian cancer early. It was a hard decision, but I've decided to go forward with the surgery.
I am about to turn 47 years old, still having regular periods, so pre-menopausal. Can anyone please share with me how it was for you after your pre-menopausal bilateral ooporectomy? I really need to hear that you got through it, how it was when you woke up from surgery, and how you are coping. I can't take hormone therapy because my breast cancer was estrogen receptor positive. So I'm going into this "cold turkey." My gynecologic oncologist said it could be a couple months before I adjust to the new menopausal me.
I would welcome hearing from anyone who has experienced the bilateral oophorectomy pre-menopausal. Actually, I would welcome hearing from everyone! 
Thank you!
