i had a total hyst in '90. my MS was dx'd in '03.
i'm very glad i did it. i was so uncomfortable i was glad to be rid of it all.
my ovaries weren't working (early menopause) so they went too. i didn't see the sense in leaving them in. if they got Ca it would be hard to dx.

however, in '08 i had my breast Ca surgery. i didn't flare but my recovery was longer than usual. it took a lot out of me.

i don't know all the latest techniques but the abdominal surgery is major surgery with a longer recovery. if it's done vaginally it's an easier surgery with a quicker recovery.
