Preparing for surgery

[Guest guest]

I remember vividly how terrified I was before my myomectomy in 1998. I had a

doctor affiliated with a good hospital. She had been referred by a friend

whose myomectomy she had performed. She assured me that she would not do a

hysterectomy. However, I was still more anxious than I had ever been in my

life before.

I am sending this message to those of you who are going through the process

of deciding what if any procedure to have and the emotions that come with

making these decisions. I remember reading this article in U.S. News and

World Report back in '98. It has a few helpful hints for dealing with these

very normal feelings.
