preop Dec 13th
I have my prep coming next week and I really don't know any basic questions to ask. My mother had a tvh when she was 43. She us now 55, so I'm assuming she hit menopause and it didn't last very ling because she stopped the hrt a month later. I'm afraid and anxious all at the same time. Has anyone had their prep appointment yet? Will you be asking for the pathology report?

Re: preop Dec 13th
Hi JVona
I printed out the questions necia mentions (look for the light blue bar at the top of the screen), and I added some others that were specific to my own medical situation. It was so helpful to have a printed list with me when I went for my appointment, because I didn't need to worry about forgetting to ask something important.
My doctor provided me with the pathology report without my having to ask for it, although I would've asked anyway. It's a good idea to keep a file of those kinds of things, just in case there's a question about something later.
It's normal to be anxious and afraid. My anxiety was through the roof some days! It was nice for me to be able to visit this website and see that other people were feeling the same way. No one in my real life knew what this was like, but the other women here sure did.
Sending your way!
