You're kidding?
Nope. All paps were always normal, no other problems...it was actually the urologist who referred me to the gynecologist this time.

I know many women have a gyn as their regular doc, but I didn't.

I am hoping to keep my ovaries, even though they may shut down for a while after surgery.

Also - I never had UTIs like many of my female peers.

Just lucky, I guess. Maybe being a bit of a health food nut helped! Who knows?

Thanks for the good wishes! Much appreciated!
