Storm,
is it possible that you are concerned about the removal of your ovary?
(like we all would be). Your Gynie sounds like a twit...! (sorry but i
really have to wonder why they choose to specialise in GYN health if
they don't take it seriously....?
please do not think you are alone, you are facing a fairly major
surgery. Counselling is normal & in my opinion should have been offered
to you abyway,
please let us know how you go...
kind regards Sami koala
