    I think you made a wise decision. I had ovarian cancer, but it was caught fairly early and though the surgery and chemo wasn't any fun, I was very fortunate and had an easy time of it. However it could have turned out far differently.

    Since you have the family history, it's a disaster waiting to happen. Good luck with the surgery and recovery. As you grow older and approach the age where it more commonly begins to develop, you will be relieved that this is behind you.

    Since they are taking out all the bits, you will be thrown into instant menopause. You might want to talk to your doc to see what he/she recommends and get a plan into place before the surgery.
