After radiation, my oncologist told me that I would have to get ovarian suppression shots every 28 days to stop my cycle and keep me in menopause. I got the shots for 8 months and decided it would be easier to get my ovaries removed so I would no longer need the shots. The OB who did my ovary removal surgery recommended I get a hysterectomy at the same time. Luckily I was able to get both procedures done during my reconstruction surgery.
