Take cervix with a hyst?
I can only offer you my story. The decision is ultamately up to you. Even though my ovaries (except for cysts) and cervix were healthy all were removed due to endometrial cancer and the fact that I had pre-cancer on my cevix when I was 20. My Onc/Gyn views the cervix and uterus as one unit and said sometimes it is difficult to just leave the cervix. I am only 36 and no children so the decision was hard emotionally but ultimately I knew what had to be done. I have seen many women on the board who have had everything taken say that it didn't affect their sex life afterwords one bit. Everyone is different. That is why we can only offer you our experiences but the decision is yours and yours alone.
