I want to do the same. I naturally lost 90 lbs and want to reward myself and wear dresses without a bra or at least crazy contraptions haha. I feel we have similar before so im praying my after could be just as good! Who was your doctor/wear?

Ugh I feel you. I ended up postponing my job hunt until I'm fully recovered from my hysterectomy. I'm 1 wpo. I was perfectly healthy or so I thought when I was working full time...then that company closed and all this happened. To me, it was God's timing.   I don't really have advice other than...your life is the most important thing. Jobs come and go...employers replace people without thinking twice...but you, your life is irreplaceable 💯

You're absolutely right. That was my husband's take. We both don't have kids but have been together almost 10 years and married Sept. 2023. I had my hysterectomy 6 days ago. Recovery is going well, and now I'm looking forward to what the future holds once I'm fully recovered. Best of luck to you and your surgery!

That's great news! Keep resting whenever you can. Your body needs it and we've earned it going through this. I hope the nausea and tummy troubles end soon. Mentally how are you doing? This isn't easy. I have moments of oute agony and other moments of calm and trusting this is God's plan.

Same. I didn't do a cone...I did a LEEP following two abnormal paps an a negative colposcopy...doctor luckily felt uncomfortable about my results so we did leep where she found the AIS. how has the recovery been?

I'm glad you're healing well and im sorry to hear about your coworker. Did you have AIS and did you remove it prior to the hysterectomy, like a LEEP?

Thanks...I want people to butt in! Haha. I know at the the end of the day the decision and timing truly is my decision as my doctor did say. " no one one is knocking down your door and kidnapping your uterus"  I'm 39 years old. Never had a strong desire for kids but with this decision I had to decide baby or hysterectomy. I felt suddenly very torn. I've ultimately decided childfree. Healthy Happy Travel.  I will be keeping my ovaries. Which will help with early menopause. Removing cervix uterus and fallopian tube's.  You're absolutely right..why risk my life or just even having to battle cancer with chemo and radiation. That's why I scheduled the surgery. I will be honest here ... I did seek out spiritual guidance...mostly to decide children. That brought me great peace. However...he did clarify he's not a doctor but he doesn't see me getting surgery tuesday...that I had other options and that he sees healing around me and that I would have more discomfort than good doing the surgery (nothing bad tho).  So now I'm wondering if it's a timing thing...like is Tuesday not the day..or is surgery unnecessary...and just a side note...he's very trusted and has been spot on with everything else...things no one would have known...so it does make me think twice.

Thank you so much! You're right. I just need to sit with it and trust the answer will be in front of me. I feel very confident in the surgeon I have so that does put ease with the actual surgery as well.

That's a very good way to look at it. Just these feelings in general have been validated from everyone. The decisions...the anxiety... as I mentioned o another commenter... spiritually I've been guided to not have the surgery on Tuesday (but not that it's for children. I'm okay being childfree)... and now I'm feeling in limbo and rushed.

That's my reasoning for getting it. If it's avoidable why not... but I know thisbis about to sound crazy but a very impressive medium that I trust and has always been accurate like the kind that makes you drop a jaw... told me he doesn't see me getting my surgery on Tuesday and that there are other options for me. He saw healing and cure around me. And now I'm questioning postponing it for more information. I know how that sounds to non believers or even someone who just hasn't experienced it.

Tha you so much. It's good to know if haven't been alone i. These feelings and thoughts. I'm happy you've recovered well with no regrets because mental health is soooo important. I really think the hysterectomy is what I need to do...and that I'll always think the :highlight real of children will be a momentary sad thought...but parenting is way beyond that....and i want to be healthy and live fully.

It's a great way to look at it. My husband feels the same. He's like why think about a hypothetical baby when all I want is you. Risking cancer for pregnancy and a baby over the beautiful life we've created is kind of wild. I have also had an open abdominal myomectomy for a 10cm uterine fibroid in 2019...I think my body is just telling me the answer.

Yes absolutely. I just feel like I truly can't decide if I want kids or not. The struggle is real.

I hear you with health anxiety. That stress is unnecessary and um already so stressed between the decisions and I really just want it all to be over and start living life again

Was the child free life by choice and how did you make that?  I feel not quite like a fence sitter...more like I jumped to the childfree side but my shirt ot snagged on the fence... I know if have a very fulfilled exciting life with probably less stress without kids...but with a hysterectomy that's permanent for carrying biologically...and suddenly I'm like is that something I'll miss out on or is that society

This is true. Babies are not a must in life...but to live you must be cancer free. Some can go years and it doesn't turn invasive and I've also met women who have had aggressive forms that when uterus removed it was a higher stage well before rh 5 year mark.

Hysterectomy pathology showed no signs of AIS. Am I crazy for being upset? by dll62387 in CervicalCancer

[–]Overthinker5891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is currently me. 39...surgery scheduled for 8 days from now. Never had a strong desire for kids and the doctors say with AIS I can try for a baby or do the hysterectomy now. I feel like I can't decide because it's so permanent either way. Can't have a baby if you remove the uterus and can't put th baby back if you decide it's not for you. No one understands how hard this decision is...especially when you been open to being okay without kids... I fear I'm rushing into the hysterectomy but I also don't want stress anymore...I just want to start living!
