I am getting ready to have my third surgery tormorrow, a full hyst. I
am so scared after reading that a lot of you still have pain afterwards.
I don't know what I should do, I have had two laps already. Any advise,
I feel that my specialist is seasoned enough and he doesn't have any
more answers for me, Also do I keep my cervix?
