Well here I am now getting ready to go into hospital again!!! Genetics have meant that I need to have my ovaries removed and now after the Breast Cancer diagnosed in April 2010 and after the Chemo, surgeries, Radiotherapy, more surgeries on the other side, it is time for this next step. Going in next week and very unsure as to what they are going to do as they will not know until they go in, but prepared for the full hysterectomy as discussed with them on the pre-assessment. I hope they decide to go for the full hysterectomy for it will at least keep me free of further worry as I have no lining left in my womb and my own doctor advised a hysterectomy a few years ago. But I was too scared, now it needs to be done and again I have no control over the options. I have learned though that I will not be under for 14 hours or even 10 hours this time, but only about 30 minutes to an hour, so that makes it a little easier. Hoping I don't have major bleeding or low blood pressure problems like the last time and that I can start to get some freedom back into my life.
The only worry I do have, is that I won't be allowed to take any hormonal tablets re eostrogen levels as the Breast Cancer was eostrogen based. So I hope that I don't become very moody or grow a beard, just worrying as another phase to go through on this journey. I know I have come far and I am happy that I stayed infection free for about a month now........... the first time in 18 months and it feels good, but I still need to get more energy back and build up my weight yet again. So more custard awaits, this time with Ginger Bread or Apple Tart.
Here's hoping all will go smoothly and there will be no complications. xxxx
