Hi, I am scheduled for total hysterectomy next week. I will be having ovaries removed, due to strong family history of breast cancer. I am terrified that I will have a raging hormonal fit after this sudden menopause. I am 53, so it's not like I'm going into this prematurely. However, I am still having regular periods, so I expect I will get some sort of "reaction".
Does this happen to everyone, or do I have a chance of not having hot flashes, etc.
