It's that time... Time to be poked and prodded and blood drawn and all the wonderful stuff that goes along with being a cancer survivor. Ugh!

Anyway, I am severely anemic. I have been for years, the cancer and surgeries and treatments didn't help, and even high doses of iron and iron infusions have just kept it slightly above the "transfusion" range. My dr thinks that heavy monthly girl things are contributing to it and wants to talk about removing the girl parts. This would get rid of that issue but will also remove the risks of uterine, cervical and ovarian cancers, which I am at higher risk for as a survivor or and as a family member of someone who had breast and ovarian/uterine cancer.
So, please pray for wisdom and guidance as we make this decision. I could choose endometrial ablation and remove problem A, but the risks of future cancers would still be there. Removing all the girl parts is obviously a better option for long term care but also a tough decision considering what they'd be removing. It took me a while to come to terms with losing my breasts, so this ould be a very big step.

Thanks in advance.
