Oh Tc - so the BSO plunged you into menopause? I'm so sorry - that's a horrible situation to be in, a dreadful shock to the system & no surprise that it's left a difficult emotional legacy. Did they give you time to weigh up the decision beforehand?
Yes, the ovaries go on producing some E & T postmenopause, so losing them is bound to have an impact even if periods have stopped some time before the surgery - as with me.
To answer your question, a cyst they'd been monitoring suddenly became vascular - a red flag sign at a time when other stuff going on with me made it seem more likely that it could be malignant. The Gynae wanted it out pdq & her obvious concern meant I agreed. There's more to it than that, but this thread's not the right place for that. Luckily, histology showed it was a benign cyst.
Please don't apologise Tc - you didn't go on at all & even if you had that's what the forum's for - we can't help each other if we don't know what's going on.
