Open Question: Ovaries- Remove or Not ?
My doctor found a very small solid mass on my left ovary through a vaginal sonogram of which he described as “weird” I had a blood test (CA 125) and it was 45. He sent my information to the Oncologists of Gynecology and he called me to tell me that they do not believe it is Cancer, but he said he is scheduling me to have both my ovaries removed and that I would go into instant menopause of course. Since I am 53 , I replied - Oh that’s o.k. I did not plan on having anymore children. Since I am new to all this, I am discovering that there are so many bad things that could happen to my body after this…heart disease up 7x osteoporosis and lung cancer (even in non smokers). Many well written articles do not recommend taking out the ovaries just to be sure.
What else can I do?
Why can’t they just open my up and take a sample for a biopsy?
What is going on here?

Open Question: my old females coat has become really oily over the years what can i do?
Ok well i have a 14 yr old lab mix. She has always had skin problems but in the past year ive noticed her coat has been getting more and more oily. I took her to the vet for her check up about a month ago almost two (she has a heart murmur and has to be seen every 4 months) and he suggested some dog shampoo, i can’t remember the name right off my head, but anyway idk what happened im guessing it was to strong for her skin but her skin got really dry and a couple spots on her her hair feel out! I discontinued using it and got her a Natural shampoo with oatmeal and got her dry skin under control and her hair is starting to grow back but her coat still gets oily, the vet said she has (i have no idea how to say or spell it) something were her skin n coat and producing to much oil and theres not alot we can do for her, he said it doesn’t seem to affect her none but i personally don’t like it it and think she would enjoy being her old self. Is there any shampoos or conditioners for dogs not people please, that you guys might know of that would help. And remember it has to be mild i don’t want her bald and its to cold here for that.
