Sally. I too had a hysterectomy at the same age as you after several years of problems. My dx was cervical cancer. I did not have radiation nor chemo as everything was clear as well. 11 years later, I did develop fibroids on the one ovary that was left and had to have it removed and it also was clear.

I have had bladder problems the past 8 years due to Multiple Sclerosis and have learned how to self-cath, but nothing like you are experiencing.

I hope you have a good support system and if not, you have us. It's difficult at best but we are good listeners as our resident "Monkey" has already said.
