It’s great to have you join us! We've found your post hidden in an old, inactive 2009 "Neighborhoods" thread and so have moved it here, to the Introduce Yourself forum, to start you off on the site.
If you know you will go ahead with a hysterectomy, then please feel free to start a new thread in our <link> Pre-Op Support forum where others can share their experiences. If, however, you'd like to take this opportunity to explore the possibility of other options/procedures to avoid major surgery, then please don't hesitate to check out the Treatment Options Page and start a new thread for support in our Hysterectomy Options and Alternatives forum.
