Hello Alzheimer's!

 Just in time for my 59th birthday, I get still more confirmation that my chronic fatigue and weird forgetfulness has a medical scientific basis. I hate being spayed.

Getting both ovaries removed comes at serious cognitive cost

 


I met more women online and in the waiting room of the cancer clinic in 2022 who were 25 to 35 years old, whose oncologists told them they needed a complete (or "radical") hysterectomy so their ovaries (and all the tissue near them) were no longer pumping out estrogen. 

I get it. Estrogen is bad, it makes cells grow, especially cancer cells. But is spaying a young woman really the answer? Do they do this to male patients? Oh, hell no.
