Hi I’m BRCA2 positive and I’m going into hospital on the 18th October to have my womb, cervix, fallopian tubes and ovaries removed by keyhole surgery. Having my womb and cervix removed won’t lower my chances of having ovarian cancer but I just want them removed too as I’m having surgery and removing it all will lower my risk in general of having any gynaecological cancers. I am so very concerned about getting cancer as my sister was diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer in 2022 and has been in remission but it has now recurred. I hope everything goes ok. I hate the fact that I’m feeling well but need to have surgery. I suffer with fibromyalgia and I am very concerned that the pain is going to be severe as I had my gallbladder removed about 20 years ago and that was keyhole surgery too but I was in agony. Any anyone else had this surgery and choose to have a total hysterectomy as well as a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy? Any responses would be great. Thanks.
