have a date!

Finally have a date - February 20,2002! Will be doing a TVH if possible,DR. thinks uterus still too large,or a TAH attempting to keep at least one ovary.Being done due to severe endo,fibroids,cysts and possible adeno.Also atypical cells at biopsy and irregular pap test.Hooray - the beginning of the end!!!

E.J. I'm so happy that you got your date! You are going to feel so much better when this is over. I think it's great that you will have some time to plan and prepare and get the holidays out of the way.

Take care!

I also have my date, 12/4, its coming up so fast. I dont mean to sound stupid, but what is adeno? I have endo and cysts, heavy bleeding and severe cramps all thoughout the month. Am having a TAH/BSO, throwing in the appendix for good measure LOL. Quite a few years ago they found precan cells, and put me on hormones, now tests show all is clear. Although, it has been an issue since they found them, concern that they would redevelop. Now after this i wont have to worry )
Good luck to you

Hooray EJ!

Just one more step to becoming a ! My TVH went quite well, but I am sure that your doctor will do whatever is best for YOU. If you haven't found them yet, there are drop down menus on the HS Home page (Ladies In Waiting)that will give you tips on things like pre-op questions to ask your dr, what to take to the hospital and other ways to prepare for your trip to the castle. Visiting the HS message boards and the chat room can also be a big help! My DH got me the princess package from the HS store... I love the cover up (I wore it at the castle!) and I am very proud of my crown (had to hide from the kids tho ) All the best to you!

Capnrose: here is my non technical definition of adeno: Adenomyosis-Usually, but not always, diagnosed in pathology after a hyst. (is why it is usually referred to a 'suspected' ) Is when the lining (endometrium) of the uterus invades the muscle of the uterus. Similar to endometriosis. Hope that helps. you can read more about it at: http://www.adenomyosis.org/
