I understand where you are coming from - although I no longer have periods - and when they found the complex endometrial hyperplasia - I was fortunate that when my daughters ovaries had burst - the gyn. on duty was also an oncologist - as someone mentioned earlier - having to go to a gyn. then oncologist - which occured to a gal at work.My children are grown so I am rather confused which way to go regarding Megace or hysterectomy - - >
