Re: Hysterectomy anyone? CJ

[Guest guest]

CJ, glad to hear you are doing okay...did your vulvar surgery leave you with vulvar pain? You mentioned that your mom said you should just have a hysterectomy...if you have problems with your uterus than it would possibly make sense, but if your uterus is actually okay...I'd leave it alone...just my two cents, anyway. If my uterus hadn't caused so many problems...I wouldn't even be considering this surgery...but it is and I'm just tired of fighting with it! If your comfortable with it, maybe you could post your story, like how you found out that you had vulvar cancer...symptoms and all. Might help someone else....

Chelle, you mentioned in your first post today,

that you really didn’t want to do it (have the hysterectomy). Please, no

matter how many of us (me included) say how great it was for us, you have to

feel confident in your own decision. There is a difference in being afraid of

having it done, and not wanting to have it done. Wait until you say to yourself

that you are so glad you made the decision for surgery. It has to come from you

– straight from your heart, that inner gut feeling, that you are confident

with your decision. If you are still saying that you really don’t want to

do it, then you are not ready.
