oophorectomy

After her final surgery, an oophorectomy and a partial hysterectomy, she took a week to recover and then started filming “Your Friends & Neighbors” in Mount Kisco, N.Y.

Importantly, among women with early bilateral oophorectomy, ever taking hormone therapy was associated with less than half the odds of Alzheimer's disease compared to those women who had not taken hormone therapy.

So through six months of chemotherapy and through a double mastectomy, a hysterectomy and an oophorectomy, she continued working, even appearing at conferences around the country.

All of the women reached menopause naturally, none because of a hysterectomy, oophorectomy, radiation therapy or chemotherapy.

I have scheduled and canceled a prophylactic oophorectomy three times and a double mastectomy twice.
