LAHV March 29th

I have a few question's about my pre-op appt. What kind of test do they run. Will I get and MRI and X-ray or anything like that or just blood work? I will only have one more period in about a week. My last one was 10 days long. The pain drives me so crazy. I have endo on the cul-de-sac and a retroverted uterous. Very painful intercourse. I just want the pain to go away. I hope that I am making the right decision. I am 30 two kids and had a tubal back in 97. I don't want anymore kids. I had 2 abnormal paps, something showed up white on my cervix through the papsure test. They did a copolscopy and found nothing. They wanted me to repeat it in 3 months. That was 2 months ago. My mom had cancer of the uterous when she delivered me 30 years ago. They gave her a hysterectomy. She was fine after that. How do they know if you have cancer of the uterous? I had a scare back in July with a breast lump. The mamogram showed cancer or inflamation. Luckily it wasn't cancer. It was fibrocystic breast changes. I am so scared. This will be my 3rd surgery in 6 months, The breast removal, the laproscopy for endo, and now the hysterectomy. I just want to feel good again. I have no energy, my hands and feet are cold all the time, I have been getting dizzy spells for a couple months now. The dr did a thyroid test and it came back fine. I just wonder if I'm missing something here. Sorry to ramble on. Thanks for your help. April

(((April))), my goodness you're been through a lot lately. Pre op wasn't bad at all for me. I had to answer a lot questions, talk to the dr and anesthesiologist, blood work, chest x-rays and an EKG. Yours will be what ever your dr ordered for you. Some ladies have only had blood work , others have other tests.
Just try to relax a little while you wait, waiting makes most of us nervous. You'll read here often that waiting is the hardest part (it was for me).
Best wishes, keep us posted. We care about you.
