Just Great...
Good evening all. Reading all of your stories has been so comforting and inspiring. I hope I am able to do the same after my surgery. Experiencing so many emotions at one time- - excited (no more heavy and horrible cycles), nervous about going under the knife and general anesthesia (never been all the way under b4) and sad at the fact that I can no longer bear children. I am blessed with my daughter, but the hubby and I would have liked one more. However I am thankful and grateful for the blessing of my daughter..she is my world
Anywho, my TAH is coming up on 03/09/15, so I have been going through some check-ups, pre-op stuff. So, I had my 1st mammogram last week. They found a cyst on my breast. So now, tomorrow, 2 weeks, b4 my surgery, I have to go to a general surgeon to have the cyst aspirated.... Yay! I have never had a needle aspiration b4... Please pray that my nerves don't get the best of me.

Thanks Lizabelle. GOOD NEWS! Surgeon decided the cyst was way too small to be aspirated (4mm). So he told me to limit my caffeine intake and increase my vitamin E. Thank you Jesus! Up next.... Tomorrow is the pre-op appt.

Re: Just Great...
Hi Redelephant8 -
Your mix of emotions, and your emotional , are very normal. This is a difficult surgery to face. It is hard to give up your uterus, something that carried your daughter, and something that made its presence known to you, for better or worse, for decades. Focusing on your DD is a wonderful way to try to balance this.
I am glad all turned out well with your cyst. Good luck with your pre-op. Here is an article on Making the Most of Your Pre-op Appointments for Hysterectomy

So glad everything turned out well. I've been through all of that breast stuff as well. It's no fun. Best wishes on your upcoming surgery. My pre-op is tomorrow and my surgery is next Wednesday. We must encourage each other on this journey of the unknown.
