A hysterectomy diagnosis can leave you feeling lonely and frightened. It's a time when every woman could use a compassionate big sister.

Welcome to the sisterhood of HysterSisters
The internet's premier woman-to-woman support site for hysterectomy recovery, Hyster Sisters: is truly a labor of love culling the combined wisdom of thousands of Hyster Sisters around the world who have faced hysterectomy firsthand, before hysterectomy, after hysterectomy, treatment options, surgical procedures, hormonal issues and a step-by-step guide through the weeks before and after surgery.

We hope you'll find this site as helpful and reassuring as a warm hug. It's not intended to take the place of your doctor's advice. But it can help you in making some important decisions while you receive support for your hysterectomy needs during your pre-op waiting and your post-op hysterectomy recovery. If you struggle with endometriosis or fibroids, check out our Options to Hysterectomy section. Stop by the Hysterectomy Forums and browse the Hysterectomy Articles and Resources. Join for access to our Hysterectomy Checkpoints.

So pull up a chair, pour yourself some raspberry tea and settle in. You're among friends and sisters!
