I had ablation 3 times, it did nothing to stop my bleeding problem...I was always one step ahead of my cervical/uterus cancer woes. I was blessed to have the same Dr. since I was 14 years old, he was one of the best ob/gyn's on the planet.
Over the years I had several surgeries and several laser surgeries when that came around, I had ablation and more biopsies than I could ever count, the last 3 years I had biopsies every 3 months...to me those were the worst...I hated biopsies. My Dr. always thought that I would want to have more children...so he always wanted to wait to do the big one!
in 2007 at 41 years old I got a call on Wednesday at work from the doc...surgery immediately...I had my hysterectomy less than 48 hours later. Funny thing was I had put off my biopsie and was 2 months late when my husband told me "just get it done" this is curable shi%. Luckily I went.
I have no regrets, at first I felt very strange...knowing...even though I didn't plan to have any more...but just knowing I couldn't get pregnant again had me crying all the time...but then one day my daughter called and asked me for money again and that feeling instantly was gone....!!!! lol
It really is wise to get it done, you've already been through so much...I assure you the hardest part is over...for your health for your peace of mind...go for it...theres always black cohash for the menopause symptoms...(have no idea what it is, but my husband made me take it)!!
Your posts will certainly become more interesting!!! The sudden onslaught of menopause was disturbing at first but then I got use to it and learned to cry in the shower, accidentally break cups in the kitchen sink....take late night drives with the music blaring and the window open in -5 weather and the best part is everyone tends to leave you alone!!!
It will be ok Michele and if I could I would recommend strongly you join hystersisters.com...those women saved my life and I have never had so much laughter or support in my life....it really is a great tool for women like us!
