Anxious in Ontario

Hi Everyone!
My name is Karen and I am scheduled to have my hyster. on October 26th of this year. My Mom passed away from Ovarian Cancer in 1996 and that is the reason I am having this surgery as well as high CA-125 counts. I have bought the hyster-sisters book and I am finding it very helpful but as with everything I have more questions. I look forward to meeting you all.
Hugs
