You can also ask this question at:

http://www.hystersisters.com

There are ladies there who've had hysterectomy w/and w/o cervix removal. If you elect to keep your cervix you must continue to have annual PAP smears. You will find the above URL a great help to you in making decisions, in preparing for your hospital visit, coping w/the pre-surgery "jitters", etc. They are a great group who have been there, done that of all ages.
