Re: Medication or Hysterectomy/Need AdviceFrom: Gwenda (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed Jul 28 13:08:21 2004

If the drugs work they will put me into forced menopause and if I opt for the hysterectomy I'll go into menopause, so whether I like it or not I'm going to have to go thru menopause a little early. What scares me is the fact that this stuff can spread all over the inside of you. I hear people talking about it on their bladder, rectum, organs, etc. I don't believe I'm at that stage yet, or at least I hope. I've also heard that it can turn into cancer which really concerns me because I have 4 young children to raise. My tubes are tied and I'm definately not planning any more children. This started about 4 months ago for me and gets a little worse all the time. Now that you have a little more detail, what do you think? Thanks,
