Another Punch to the Ovaries

Alright, already, I didn't realize there was so much literature out there about the benefits of oophorectomy for BRCA1/2 carriers. Am I running across this more and more as a sign that I need to hurry up and get this one over with??? The latest article has an innocuous-enough sounding headline, "Surgery can lower cancer risk in high-risk brca1/2 carriers".  I should have guessed it would be advocating for ovary-removal. Sigh.
