Menopausal. Scheduled Hysterectomy, Oophorectomy, Had Bilateral Mastectomy. Is It Related To Cancer?

Yesterday I just learned I will be having a hysterectomy and an oopherectomy in a few weeks. I had a bilateral mastectomy five years, so this is related to cancer concerns. I am 52 and very healthy. What can I expect with recovery period. What is recommended to assist my body in making the transition through this immediate menopause?

Hi and welcome to HCM,thank you for your query.
Since you are 52,menopause probably already started so you may not feel any difference. Recovery is quick today and there is only about 5-7 days
