Hi: I just got back from an appt. with a gyn. yesterday, and they also want to take my ovaries/uterus too. I'm now 49, and I'm not in menopause! My oncol. wants me to get on arimidex, which I can't have until I'm post meno. So anyway, I'm going to have the surgery. I,m going to have it done all laporoscopic. The surgery is called LSH, and I guess in one week, you can go back to work, and feel good. I have to decide when to do it. We are going to Hawaii for a vacation, the first of November, and the doctor said if I have it done right away, I should be fine for the trip. So, now I just have to figure out, if I want it done before or after. Since chemo, and herceptin, my periods have been very heavy, and lots of hard cramps, so I guess if have it done before, I won't have to worry about that happening on the Islands!
So many desicions to make, huh?
