Default Back from Surgery.
Had a hysterectomy this past Monday. Things seem to happen for a reason. I debated back and forth as to whether or not to have the surgery, finally decided to do it. The surgeon said they found cancer cells, so I guess it's a good thing I did.

I'm recovering pretty well from it. Kinda knocked my MS for a loop, but nothing not managable.

Missed you all.

Glad to be back.

I'm glad you're back, F2U. And I know you're glad that the surgery is all behind you now and you can concentrate on healing. I believe things happen for a reason, too, and your situation is a perfect example. I hope you feel better real soon.

I lost my uterus after a child birth that ruptured it. I was devestated! It took me a while to realize that this meant, no more periods! no more PMS, no more cramps! no more bloat! I didnt realize how horrible my symptoms were till they were gone.

It sounds like the right move if they found pre cancer. You saved yourself a bunch of trouble. Feel better quick.

Welcome back home, Friend...I missed your cheery self, a lot. I'm so glad you had this done, in time to save you from the big C.

I know they will keep checking to make sure those nasty C Cells didn't migrate somewhere else.

Rest up and be well.

Here's to a speedy recovery! Glad they found and got the C out of there! Going ahead with the surgery was a very good decision!
