Pathology report - Finally an answer!

I had been holding out for my 6 week post-op check to get this report. I did not want to find out that everything was healthy while I was still fighting emotional imbalances due to surgical menopause, but I gave in today. I'm glad I did. I feel better knowing that I made the right choice.

It clearly states that I had fibroids, ovarian cysts, cysts on my tubes, and extensive adenomyosis.

Now I can get on with my life!

Donna,
I am so happy that you got a satisfying answer to what was going on! I know that is very important to me as well.

Blessings to you as you begin your new life!

what is the pathology report? The cyst on my ovary was biopsied during surgery. It came back negative/clear. I assume that that is the pathology report. I see my surgeon on Thursday. Should I be asking for a pathology report?

I got mine from the pathologist at the hospital lab. Your Dr should be able to get it for you too..

Congrats and a big on your great report! Best of luck with your recovery!!!!!!

Hugs!

Donna,
I am exactly two weeks post-op, had my first post-op visit to the doc two days ago and the path report came back with extreme adenomyosis with fibroids. So you and I had been walking around as if we were three months pregnant! Can you feel a difference and if you do where do you feel it? I feel a great relief in my lower right back--that is that place that was most sore after the surgery. Did you have a lot of fatigue before the surgery? That was one of my biggest complaints, besides the fact that I had to pee all the time and had constant lower back pressure--and forget about PMS-ing! Anyway--yay to us! Hope you continue to do well.

Julie,
I bled for about 7 months straight. I had cramps that were equal to labor pains. They put me down and out for days at a time. I had "normal" cramps on the days that I did not have the bad ones. So for me, the TAH was instant relief from that pain. Even though I am in some pain from my surgery, it is NOTHING compared to what I had before. I had no energy, I hurt all of the time so my mood was really bad. So I'd have to say I feel the relief mostly EVERYWHERE! yay!
