I just read that your risk was 6% as compared to 2% for those without family history.

After my MS diagnosis back in '07 I've realized there's one thing that happens to MS patients, we become very in depth researchers and analytical. Well, at least the ones that I've come in contact with. Already before now being at risk for ovarian cancer, I live by some type of statistical roulette.

The other post says, most women now have their ovaries removed, not that there's a statistical number to go with it. In my anger about statistics, and in a cynical hrrrmmmmppp...how très chic. I guess also if a woman wants a full mastectomy that's also her right.

I want numbers and evidence laid before me, personally, so that I can make my own choice. Surgeries on someone with MS are no joke. Hospital stays are a practical no no. My cns is amiss and anesthesia takes me a little while to recover. I've turned down a couple treatments because the side effects are worse than my illness that's been in remission for several years and ten years before that. So my body, my choice. Especially when the treatment is based on 'reduces the chances' [of progression of illness ]. Give me a cure, at this point[ms] and we'll talk. Same goes with removal of my body parts.
