Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Hello LOL, I've been a member of the list for about 4 weeks, ever since I was diagnosed with 3 fibroids after seeing a GYN for abnormal bleeding. And surprise, surprise, she told me I had 2 choices - based on my age (49) I should have a hysterectomy, or I could be given a combination of drugs to " throw " me into immediate menopause that would stop the bleeding. Well, I went home after that appointment and began my research which led me to this group where I've found there are so many more choices. Since that time I've begun to have a lot of pain along with the bleeding, and of course I am anemic with a count of 31. But now to the real news that I found out yesterday . . . My PAP came back with abnormal cells indicating malignancy. So . . . looks like I'm back to the hysterectomy option. Funny how everything seems to go in circles, isn't it? My GYN did some scraping yesterday and will share the results of the tests with me tomorrow afternoon, but has already told me to make a decision on a GYN oncologist. I cried momentarily, and am very tired from struggles I've had the last couple of years with work and my 15 year old daughter. However, I will continue my research and do everything necessary to get back my health. Anyone on the list know some good links for info on cervical cancer? I need to get working on this ASAP : > Thanks for listening, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
