Re: HysterectomyFrom: Laurann (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat May 28 03:19:55 2005
Hi all, I am so sorry I screwed up on my post by copying the info directly from another website. I really am so sorry please forgive, I really should know better since I am a writer. I think the info is important, but only put the stuff I wrote below. I apologize to Lee Hart and thank her for the wonderful job she does. I also apologize to the other members of this group and to the HERS website writers. I will be sure to reread the rules. This is my first time posting, but I feel it's important to let you all know about what I've researched involving hysterectomy. I've been told by my doctors and several organizations that there are very few reason to get a total hysterectomy, in fact my doctor has said only if you have a cancer that can't be treated otherwise. Contact the HERS foundation (Hysterectomy Education Resources and Services) http://www.hersfoundation.com/. It gives complete, correct information about hysterectomy, its negative aspects and other options. I am really surprised doctors are still suggesting it. You really have to do the work, but there are other options. I am one of the facilitators for the Endometriosis support group at Northwestern University Hospital in Chicago and know of many individuals who, even after hysterectomy still have severe Endometriosis! I'm not saying it doesn't work for some people, but even though it was suggested several times to me I didn't feel comfortable with the odds. I am not a doctor, but I feel it's important to let others know the facts I've found out. I know it's hard, and we all really want to feel better, but please talk to people who really know about it, and get complete information, before you get it done. Good Luck, Laurann
