    Wow Candace! What a day, huh?!


    What ever you decide, good luck and you know that we all will be here for you!

    I had a hysterectomy when I was in my late 30's, let me tell you that was the best surgery I ever had! But then again I had horrible periods so I was more than happy to get rid of them.

    Keep us updated, and you are so right about everyone getting checked! I now have a Post-it at the front of my calender, it tells me the months that I have to: get my eyes checked; OB/GYN yearly; mamogram; etc. It is so important for us to keep on top of our medical history!

    Wow, a football!

    I had a cantelope sized fibroid and my Dr. was not able to do anything but TAH-BSO (total abdominal hysterectomy/bilateral salpingo oopherectomy) through a vertical incision. They took the whole works. My Dr. didn't want to leave ovaries - says she'd seen too many cases where they can cause trouble later.

    None of it matters - surgery, incision, hospital, etc. My surgery was in 2001 and I started feeling better fairly quickly afterwards. The surgery was really worth it for me.

    You are right about HysterSisters! Really helped me prepare before I had my surgery.

    My mother had to have a radical hysterectomy in her late sixties because of a prolaspe, they took the lot, no use keeping it at her age, and she had it done the laproscopy way, honestly i was really scared about her surgery, she was watching television that night after the operation, it was truely amazing, and really a breeze, i had seen many performed the abdominal way when i nurse aided in a private surgical hospital, and they were not nice, but that was over 35 years ago, and things have changed, still it takes a lot longer to recover, but either way you will be in good hands, and when it is all over I am sure you will be much healthier . good luck, i know how scarey it all is.

    I second that! Here for you babe, all the way. Just can't help but say, never get a biopsy without anaesthetic. I had one 2 years ago. The " so called specialist, woman gynaecologist " was a sadist. Once I finally got and kept the appt. Dig this, they tell my to put on me gown, I'm up in the stirrups, bitch I've never met who is a "specialist" says.... do you want an Advil, this is going to be painful. How is that going to kick in, I'm already naked from the waist down, what good will that do me. I said, no, I'll be fine. I have a very high pain threshold. I do. Well she cut a chunk out of my ...not sure what. Something way up inside my vagina. I screamed so loud in agony I almost gave myself a heart attack. I was nautious for two days. All my trust in gynaecologists is gone forever. What a rotten human being. I'm not sure I could inflict that kind of pain on a serial killer. Pretty sure that's a big fat,no. It was unbearable and she should have her licence taken away. I remember apologizing as I was leaving for screaming. It was beyond torture. I did not know any better. I simply trusted her. Someone should sue her behind. It was a revolting experience and very sad. One nightmare for the books, that one.
