Guest guest Posted August 31, 2000 Report Share Posted August 31, 2000 Thanks for the warm welcome. Yes, my complete abdominal hyst has been since 1997 and I have seen lots of DR like my husband lets say the family of pain is over here. We were made for eachother. I have seen gastro specialist . og gyn specialist . neurologist and even some of the same pain specialist as my hubby but to no avail like brandon i cant take pills they make me so sick i throw up and cant stop . great for losing weight but i can t afford that at 120 lbs. so they say just deal with it . so i am always still looking for a dr who cares but its very hard to find one here in indiana . maybe another state might help.

"I have had a complete hyst and it wasn't very fun for me I still have pain where they said I wouldn't." Have you had a check up? Is there anything they can do to stop the pain? "I am 30 years old and had endometerosis.. I cant take hormones or I get sick." I get sick on hormones too ... sorry to hear though that you are still in pain. :-( *HUGS* Lovely to meet you!!

Welcome to the Family! You both will be great additions to our "little" family! Sadly, I think that 99% of the "understanding doctors", those doctors that truly seem to care... have set up practice on either the Moon, or Mars! If you find a good doctor, here on earth, hold on to them, and never let go! Love Always! Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 1, 2000 Report Share Posted September 1, 2000 I had to have one due to cervical cancer and it got it all. I have been cancer free for 15 years now. I could have had the cone biopsy but due to degenerative disk disease childbearing was becoming too dangerous so we decided to do the hysterectomy. I have regretted it from time to time as I wanted to have a houseful of kids, but health wise it was the best thing for me. I have 4 wonderful daughters who will bring me the sons that I was trying for so my life will be more than complete in time.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2001 Report Share Posted February 27, 2001 Hi My mum will be having a full hysterectomy in a week as the doctors believe that she may have the specific gene that can cause ovarian and breast cancer. She had breast cancer when she was 42 and is now 48. Aside from the terrible trouble and pain that she has with her monthly cycle and hormones the doctors thought it best to give her the operation. She is happy about having the op so that she isn't worried about a recurrence (secondary - ovarian cancer) and also because she cannot leave the house for 2 months out of the month when her cycle begins. I know this is not specifically related to cancer, but can anyone offer any supplements/support that you think she should be getting after the operation to speed her recovery or help in any way. They have told her that if she still struggles with her hormones she can have HRT, which she couldn't have before because of the risks. Any help will be greatly appreciated Thanks Deb minxmedia@...

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2001 Report Share Posted February 27, 2001 Hi Deb, Your mother has been sold a bill of goods for a most draconian and irreversible operation that has numerous unintended cosequences. Has your mother spoken to ANY other patients who have had this operation. She very defimitely should. I'll bet her surgeons would not even have 3 satisfied customers in a LIFETIME of practice. Dr. Vicki Hufnagel,MD in her book 'No More Hysterectomies " estimates 90 % of theese operations are unnecessary. There are ways of decreasing and minimizing pre-menstrual cramping and pains. Taking apple cider vinegar a few days before her period is on thing that comes to mind. sign on to natural-healing@... for more suggestions-ask them and someone will tell you. I'm sur Null has information on his website www.garynull.com Good luck Arnold Gore Consumers Health Freedom Coalition Re: hysterectomy > Hi > My mum will be having a full hysterectomy in a week as the doctors believe that > she may have the specific gene that can cause ovarian and breast cancer.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2001 Report Share Posted February 28, 2001 Deb: Yikes!!...See if you can talk her out of it...really bad idea... Get Dr.Lee's books on Hormones and what doctor's aren't telling her. I believe that probably 80% of her problem is unopposed estrogen and she'll be put on syntetic hormones which are not even close to natural progesterone... I'd never let her have a full hysterectomy because some testtube says she carries some gene...so what... she has to have it expressed for it to be dangerous, and those doctors don't know if she would ever trigger it or not... gads, all of us women would have everything cut out if that were the case...what's next...?? What if a guy had a gene that was a penile cancer gene...do you think he'd allow them to cut off his penis " PREVENTATIVELY " ?....Common...! I hate it when these guys use genes to " cull " the population of what they call high-risk patients who'll " drain the economy with their long term health problems " --be careful of the Genome Project...it is a rename of the old genetics program / " racial hygeine " project being done by the Nazi's in WWII by IGFarben (we have documented proof of that)... She can fix her problems without surgery if she's willing to take some time to look at less toxic more natural things...I doubt anyone has ever done a who person evaluation rather than just disease symptoms, have they?...There is alot more to this than her cycle problems...and removal of her female organs will actually make her more at risk for cancer, not less...besides which if there are any un-normal cells present, they'll risk activating them through the trauma of the procedure itself...I'd highly recommend her to NOT get this done (I've been down this road with several patients myself and have never seen good come from it...I don't care what genes they say she has...only God can determine these things, not our genes...) Just because you cut out an organ doesn't mean you get rid of cancer...it's always systemic...the problem isn't the cancer but the enviroment it grows in...

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2001 Report Share Posted February 28, 2001 Deb, One more afterthought. Dr. Hufnagel indicates that the ONLY reason for a hysterectomy is if a cancer is present. Since you say your mother is removing it based upon some gene therapy speculation that she MIGHT develop cancer there,( which is a stretch) you can use a simple blood test for the presence of cancer the Ant-Malign Antibody Screen or AMAS test which is said to be 95% accurate. It is an FDA approved test, but has not received as much publicity because it is owned by a small research company in Boston, Oncolab,Inc. It was invented by a Dr. Bogoch,MD Toronto,Ph.D. Harvard, It has been written up in the Lancet 1:987,1979; 2:141-142.1981; 337:977,1991 Your Doctor can contact the lab at tel. 800-922-8378 or 617-536-0850. Only if its positive should you even THINK about the operation. Even then there are a lot more questions.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2001 Report Share Posted February 28, 2001 Mannatech sells PLUS which has natural precursors to DHEA, our " mother hormone " . It will naturally help your mom make some of her sex hormones. It helps men too. If you're a first-time customer, they have 3 products in one package (PLUS, PhytAloe, Ambrotose) for $49. They also have a new Hormone Support--3 immune enhancers in one pill.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2001 Report Share Posted March 1, 2001 I have had a word with my mum about your suggestions and comments but I think she feels a bit confused. She has spoken to several friends who have had the operation who say they feel 100% better now (in terms of not suffering badly with hormones and other monthly problems) so I think she is in 2 minds about the best thing to do. She really does want to see an end to all this and perhaps she feels like this is the quickest solution. She has tried wild yam cream and also Wild Yam supplements but her symptoms do not alter as they are so extreme, she has also changed her diet following certain guidelines and that has done little to help her. I think she feels pretty desperate to resolve the situation. What sort of problems do you foresee if she has the operation? Thanks again for all your advice and support Deb minxmedia@...

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hi Penny My name is Leanna Owen and I had a Hystorectomy when I was 29 yrs. old. The only thing I can tell you for sure is start taking an Iron supplement prior to surgery. It will build up your red cell count so that you bounce back better. That is what they told me. The pain for me was comparable to a full term delivery with nothing to show for it. I still have my ovaries and am currently going thru the change myself. I take estrovin for the hot flashes and mood swings, and it helps without the harmones and the side afects they often carry. I hope this helps you. Good luck in your journey.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Honestly Penny, if I thought I'd feel that much better again,I'd ask for ANOTHER hyssie! It took awhile to notice the improvement, but it was so worth it. (For me, getting nothing to raise out of the deal was just an added benefit, too!) I totally concur that building up iron stores and general good health pre-op is important. My most serious issue was anemia and transfusions just to prepare me for surgery, This was about a hunnerd years ago, and I have heard so much about the improvements leading to faster recovery. But seriously listen to your OBGYN and follow his instructions - I lifted early and paid for it. Tj > Hi family, Looks like I'm in for surgery AGAIN.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 This is what I was told when they left one ovary, but I've been through the change symptoms, with hormone therapy, three times, and it's not over yet. I've quit using the patch due to fear of the possibilities, and started using Complete Balance by Natrol. It's done a good job for me for nearly two months, so I'll go another month and then see if we're finished with all the nonsense this time! But it was still worth it to have the hyssie!!

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hi, I had a hysterectomy back in 1990. I was 36 years old. I had everything removed because of severe endometriosis. Things have changed a lot since then as far as surgical procedures, but one thing the doctor had me do, a few weeks before the surgery, was to donate my own blood so they would have it on hand in case I needed it. They used it, not because I bled so much, but because it would boost my iron level. My hysterectomy was easier and less trauma than having my c-section back in 1981. Ask the doc about donating your own blood, just in case you need it. I would rather get my own blood back instead of someone else's. I know my health history. Who knows what might be in someone else's blood! I use a low-dose estrogen patch. I get along fine. Good luck. abbasgirl30 <abbasgirl30@...> wrote: Hi family, Looks like I'm in for surgery AGAIN.

The medicos are so afraid of " infection " which is nothing more than the body's healing mechanisms. Of course the body has to muster its defenses when it is cut up, but that doesn't mean it is a bad thing. It will create inflammation, which brings more blood to the area to heal, and it will bring pus which is white blood cells created by the immune system to heal, etc. She would be so much better off taking natural antibiotics like garlic, oil of oregano or clove oil to help her body heal rather than toxic damaging antibiotic drugs. Even one dose of antibiotics can create candida as well. ==>She needs to eat well before and after surgery. After surgery a liquid diet is best because it is easy to digest, i.e. bone broths are excellent as well as Bee's egg drink, chicken soup, etc. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Depends on how old she is and if that tissue is also affected. At a minimum, I believe she should try to convince her doctors not to remove the ovaries, otherwise she will be deprived from most female hormones and their benefits. If she is close to menopause and the tissue is in bad condition, mds will remove it, but I insist that at least one ovary must be spared to protect her. My 0.02.
