Hysterectomy or Oopherectomy?

Hysterectomy or Oopherectomy?

I was very glad to find this place and hope that you can help me with my decision.  I have a solid tumor on my left ovary.  My doctor is telling me that I need to have both ovaries removed, but not necessarily my uterus.  All my friends & family tell me to have EVERYTHING removed.  I don't know what to do...HELP
