Did it all!!

Hi Cary,

I was er/pr +++, BRCA 1 and 2 neg, and Her2 +++. It was my choice to do a full hysterectomy. I had it done 8/04, I was 33. I'm on Arimidex and Fosamax. The surgery was done laparascopically. I was out the next day. I have experience dryness,no libido and hot flashes. Although I work out every day I cannot lose weight. I think menopause is the culprit for that one. I can't remember exactly why I didn't keep my cervix. I think I was told that if I were to get cervical cancer my outlook would not be good. Having 2 little ones myself it was a chance I did not want to take. As for the Arimidex, I've had no joint pain but I do have ostiopenia of the hip. All in all, I have no regrets with the choices I made. Good luck with your decision and please contact me if you should need anything else.

My best to you,
Ita
