No one can make your decision for you. I know for me, I wanted to end the pain! I do NOT regret my decision one bit, to have my uterus and ovaries out. And it sounds like your situation is even more dire than mine was! I'm not sure how you can stand to not have it done? You must be living on pain pills at this point? I know I would be.

You can post your questions and concerns on the sites I will list below (they have a message board like this one and hundreds of members who have had hysterectomies or are about to, so you will get a ton of answers and support). Hugs, Gina
