The pain is excruciating today. It's radiating all throughout my right side and my lower belly, a burning constant throb. My emotions are getting the best of me. I have exhausted my mind researching and contemplating the choices available and it is time to decide. My doc's diagnosis - Adenomyosis, Severe Pelvic Congestion Syndrome, Endometriosis, and Cysts, but no cancer!! The biopsies all came back negative and I am so extremely relieved. I have cut it down to two choices. Either a tubal and removal of my right ovary or a subtotal hysterectomy with removal of my right ovary. With the tubal, I would not begin menopause but would still have some pain from the adenomyosis. The hysterectomy is supposed to cure the adenomyosis but I would begin menopause. Which is more beneficial long term? I have no idea. I am anticipating a call from my doc today to talk about it more and make my decision.
I pray the sunshine can override this melancholy mood.

Well..
ReplyDeleteCervical cancer runs in my family. My aunts, mom, and cousins have had hysterectomies and they're all fine!
But I understand how tough it is. That's a major surgery. Thank God I've never had even a minor one. I'd be a wreck right now. :(
I hope whatever step is next ends this for you.
Thank you. I see my gyno next friday to make sure my decision is the right one and schedule the surgery. It is a major surgery but will actually be done with roboticized arms and there will not be a massive incision, just a small one. Recovery is about a month instead of two so that will make a huge difference with the kids and everything.
ReplyDeleteYes. Mom was out for six weeks. I wasn't home when she had hers.
