Guest guest Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Dear Ruth, I am glad you feel better than you did before the surgery. Sometimes we do not have choice and we do the best we can with our situation. Everyone is different and require different procedures but the most important thing is that you are better. Thank you for your information. Best regards to you. phoenixsrevenge R1AACRDC@...> wrote: I ended up with a hysterectomy a year ago. The fibroid was too embedded into the uterus to be able to remove. So a year after removing the 5lb (18cm) fibroid/uterus and leaving in the ovaries, I feel physcially better than I had in 5 years. Emotionally, dealing with it has been another matter. Things are a bit different but with the ovaries, I still get PMS, am not sexless, almost everything is what it use to be before I developed the fibroid, almost. I joined the Hystersisters.com for awhile but got tired of most of them patting themselves on the back for getting a hysterectomy and saying it was the best thing they ever did. Time will tell if I will develop the other programs and diseases. My biggest problem has been dealing with the emotional issue of it and not having children.
