Okay, Sisters.
Last week via Ultrasound, my Dr found 8 fibroids in my uterus, 2 cysts on right ovary and 1 on the left. I have been having lower abdomen pain, particularly on my right side for a couple of months. He said everything appeared benign, but no sure way to tell without removing them (via hysterectomy) - ovaries, too. He said to come back in 3 months and he will re-examine me to see if there has been any change. In the meantime, I have this time to research and make my decision or I can decide to go ahead with the surgery sooner.
Most females relatives had their surgeries years ago - none of my friends have been through this yet, so I need your help. My Dr didn't go into any details. I guess he didn't want to overwhelm me. So, I feel lucky to have found this site so that I have you all to talk with.

Hi Sister Deb,
I am currently in the 'wait & watch ' stage also. To me, it is very fustrating. Sorry, I don't much advice or information.
You will find the Sisters here to be extremely helpful and loving.
You may also want to check out the "Hysterectomy Options & Alternatives " board too ( I think that is what it's called LOL).
Enjoy your time here and please feel free to Private Message or email me anytime.
Love & Hugs,
Michelle

Dear Debby:
I too was a lady in wait for about a month-sometimes I think the waiting is worse. Since I have been told I needed TAH it was a month and I just wanted to know what was going to happen. It didn't help that I had been bleeding heavily for 2 mos straight already. I ran across this wonderful website and it answered all my questions and if I had doubt my final appt with doctor I got the final answer. I have spoken with dozens of friends and family who have been through this and the most popular answer has been "It was the best thing I ever did!!" So I am going into this with no fear of the unknown. Read everything you can but don't let it overwelm you. We are all here for you!! God Bless and take care!

Thanks so much. I know I will have loads and loads of questions in the weeks or maybe months ahead.
So far, I have heard the same...that it "was the best thing I ever did". I just want to know all I can so there are no "surprises".
I haven't had any unusual bleeding, except for heavy periods (which are regular so far). The pain is such that I usually want to crawl into bed with a heating pad on the first day, but nothing extraordinary. Just this nagging pain which I'm sure is from the cysts on my right ovary.
Anyone else with similar circumstances?
Thanks again!
Deb
