I just visited my gynecologist today and he told me I have to have a hysterectomy. I am scared to death! I still have my tonsils! The only surgery I have ever had is cataract surgery 3 years ago. I have never been one to go to the doctor regularly (I don't always trust them) and I much prefer alternative treatments. I really need support right now!

I'm sorry you find yourself facing surgery but am very glad you've joined and hope you'll enjoy being part of this amazing support community.

Princess Ruby has linked our Pre-Op Page above, which is packed with information, and also the Pre-Op Support Forum where you’ll find all the other ladies awaiting surgery. I see you've already found the <link> Hysterectomy Options and Alternatives Forum ~ please don't hesitate to start a new thread of your own there (just as you did here) if you would like to take this opportunity to explore other options. We also have a Treatment Options Page which is packed with information. You may find a second opinion very useful, too, if you've not already done so.

Sending all good wishes and we're here to support you ~ every step of the way!
