Sleepless in San Diego
I have just been told that I need a supracervical hysterectomy and oopheractomy which will be performed through an abdominal incision. Not only is this happening at the ultimate wrong time in my life, but I am not ready, and maybe not able, to withstand the jolt that this surgery will thrust upon me.
I am frazzled as it is. Just 6 months ago, when I was turning 50, I had my hormones checked and they showed no signs of menopause. I was glad, because I was not ready for hormonal shockwaves. I have so much stress and upheaval right now as it is.
December produced physical changes resulting in a very large ovarian cyst, enlarging fibroids from stumps previously removed, and cystic irregularities of the left ovary. I have pain, pressure, bloating, and menstral irregularities.
My doctor ran the usual tests and xrays.
The possibility of cancer is there, but it is not strongly suspected. It was only be determined during the surgery by tissue testing.
I am less afraid of the diagnosis of cancer than I am of the hormone shock that I will have to endure.
I am just not ready or willing to take on this.
I am still getting over 15 other traumas and still am trying to cope with a million other life situations and
stresses.
Just when I was on the verge of buying my first house!
We started looking and were applying for the loans.
NOW THIS! HHHEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPP!
(I'm all out of coping today.)
I'm going to have a morphine spinal anesthesia. I had one during the removal of the fibroids and it was fabulous.
That's the only good thing that I expect to go well.
I'm glad I found this board. Thanks for listening.
