Back Again
Well I feel pretty ashamed that I joined then abandoned - have finally jumped backed on, apologies to those people who sent msgs years ago with no return from me.
I wanted to forget everything pink...

I had my tubes and ovaries removed in November last year. I had really wanted to postpone this for a year but my doctors all agreed it needed to be done now.
So off I went, it was keyhole surgery with no issues. Because i had a major organ removed a few moenths before they kept me in hospital a few days but really I had no issues.
There was some minor pain, but nothing compared to other things I had been through, no emotional issues, but I was fully menopausal.
I had a couple of weeks off work after the surgery and just took care, bending, reaching and carry heavy things.
The good thing was when I got my pathology results I had cysts in both ovaries and one tube that may have caused me some issues down the track, so I was pleased I took the doctors advice.
So for me it was a positive outcome and really I had no emotional attachment to my ovaries at all.
Good luck with your decision
