to keep or not to keep ...
Day1,
I kept my cervix and I am very happy with my decision.
My Dr. said in keeping the cervix it helps with future pelvic ligament support and it also helps in the love dept.
And, I know you will get posts from Hyster Sisters who are happy with their decision to not keep their cervix.
With a TAH, your Dr. does take the cervix. If you are interested in keeping it, you might ask him about a SAH (Subtotal Abdominal Hysterectomy). You can keep the cervix with that surgery.
Good Luck. Surgery and cervix decicions can be difficult. And you sound very upbeat in your post. That is important!!
