Hi Maryann
My thoughts are with you and I'll say a prayer for you on the 4th. I
haven't had a hyst but will need to have one in all likelihood, and I'm
okay with that, my husband and I plan to adopt. Quality of like has to
come above fertility. I'll be 32 in July. My sister had a hyst three
days after she turned 30, untreatable fibroids. It was emotionally very
traumatic for her even though she thought she was well prepared for it;
I'm sure I'll be the same. However, she thinks it was the best thing she
ever did, is alot better off physically now. She and her husband are in
the process of adopting now. Wish you well with your surgery and
recovery, take care of you!
