Hi Jessica, as you will see from my post above I was having a hysterectomy and ooperectomy age 49.
Sooooooo pleased that I had this op, I have reduced my risk for cancer and since then I have found out that I have relatives with uterus/ovarian cancer. Also I got the all clear on my uterus ultrasound 3 months prior, but when it was removed it was full of adhesions inside and out and very enlarged. I also had an all clear ultrasound and mammogram 6 months prior to bc dx, I was also on Tamoxifen for approx 6 months.
As Michelle above has said compared to the whole bc journey, the op is easy. I did have 6 weeks off work, sitting around, short walks, and am still very tired now. But the relief of having this removed is enormous.
If I can help with any personal questions send me a private message.
