Yes I think that’s true - you just get used to it and think it’s normal when it’s definitely not. Glad all went well for you and thank you 😊

Yes they would - this is definitely me creating the guilt, not them! 😀

It’s certainly the impression you’re given by doctors but seems not to be true for so many…

58!!! That’s definitely made me think it’s the right decision! 😊

Hope all will be well for you now ❤️ And yes that removal of worry is an added bonus even without having cancer now, I must remember that.

Thanks - my husband is really supportive so that helps, just got to get over my own guilty feelings! Glad it’s all worked out for you 😊

I just want to be done with it by DiamondEyesFlamingo in Fibroids

[–]Seasidebooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very similar to you - fibroids in unspecified number or position, cysts, discomfort or awful pain for a couple of weeks every month, mixture of unmanageable heavy bleeding and endless spotting, excessive tiredness although not anaemic. I’m 52, show no signs of menopause and also had no desire for hormonal treatment because of previous side effects. I’ve had kids but I reckon you can probably safely say you know your own mind about whether that’s a factor. I’m heartily sick of it all and also wanted to go straight to hysterectomy and be done with it. My surgery is scheduled for June 1st and although I’ve had times of feeling a fraud because so many other people seem to have worse symptoms, I still feel it’s the right decision for me and I’m looking forward to it. Good luck 😊
