Re: Facing High Risk Hysterectomy for Endometrial Cancer (Long)From: adipose (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 15 Jun 2000 15:31:17 -0500 (CDT)
Hi Annina, reading your story was like looking at my PCOS life story. I couldn't believe the similarities. I had a complete hyster at age 35, eleven years ago. I had to beg for it, my ovarian pain was so severe I couldn't even hardly ride in the car!! My early history was just like yours. I was at the first stage of endometrial cancer when I begged my obgyn to do a hyster. My husband and I finally convinced her. After the surgery, she actually said to me in the recovery room, "It was a lot worse than we thought." The surgery was to have been 2 hours, but it took them 4 1/2 because I was such a mess internally. I am happy I had it done when I did, although we were trying for another child(I have only one.) But my chances of a sucessful preg were minimal. I resent having to practically hit the docs over the head with a toaster to get their full attention to this disease, but obviously that's what it takes. Let me know how you are doing. Good luck, Keep the faith, Adipose
-- Yes, Gail, I can relate to what you said since I have experienced the same things. I know the percentage of ladies on this board are concerned with fertility questions, but we ladies that are post-menopausal and still suffer from PCOS are important too. Hang in there, you are not alone!!! Maybe in the near future, we can all work together to find answers and spread the word to our daughters and grandaughters. Keep looking for the light.
