I had a radical hysterectomy almost 23 years ago. I was 25 years old. Still I remember signing that piece of paper stating "you will no longer be able to bear children." I feel very grateful that my cancer was caught quickly, thank you Mayo Clinic. I tried to take hormone replacements but the endometriosis tissue remains forever and hormones feed it. I can say I did not notice too much except it instantly threw me into menopause, and as I could not take hormones summer, and humidity has become my bitter enemy. I adopted a son at age four and managed to do everything with him as long as 3/4 of my body was immersed in water. I have a prescription for Ativan at night which helped but doctor increased it to two. One half hour of sleep, dreged in sweat, up an hour, doze off and same thing. Over and over. I am almost 48 years old and asked my doctor "How long does this go on!!!" I love fall and winter.
Hang in there, best to be rid of disease causing organs.
