This is a time in your life to put you first. You are unique and there is only one of you.
Canadian Cancer Society has a website with a wealth of information . It also has support groups for all kinds of cancer. I wish you health and lots of support in your future endeavours.

If you're around 40 or 50, it's better to have it removed because of the risk for cancer. Besides, menopause strikes women around that age, when ovaries begin to lose its reproductive function.
Consequences of having your ovaries removed include hot flushes, mood swings, dry skin. There are Hormone Replacement Therapies (HRT) to avoid these symptoms. However, HRT carries a risk for breast cancer.
It is best that you discuss treatment and management strategies with your doctor.

Sorry to hear about your news, you must be devastated! Try looking at cancerbackup's website. Not quite sure what it is though so do a search for it. Also try cancer research websites, and make sure you have a gynaecologist you feel comfortable with and can trust.
