Just Venting
Hi Sisters,
I am just needing to talk. Two months ago, I went in for a yearly pap...all was normal. I am 48, and had not had a period for 4 months...was kind of happy at the thought I was going through menopause. My doc decided to check my fsh levels. It was above 60...Yay! post menapausal...done and over...that was easy! I had been regular up until then.,,just suddenly stopped..then the next month, I had light spotting...I am thinking still, just a part of menapause...but doc ordered a transvaginal ultra sound and they called and said my endometrium was 16mm...should be about 5....also a fibroid and cyst on my ovary...doc said she was sending me to gyn/onco!!!! you are kidding me right? that was scary....went to him, did an endometial biopsy....waiting was scary....did alot of praying. Got the dx...complex hyperplasia with atypical cells...he wanted to a hysterectomy right away...in fact, he was talking hysterectomy the day of my biopsy....i did not feel comfortable with him....and was not ready to accept that I needed a hysterectomy....I prayed for guidance....I did my research and I really felt led to go to another gyn/oncologist, and so I found one at a teaching hospital and had my doc refer me...met her, liked her. She also suggested a total hyst....so I am scheduled for one aug 12...This has happened all so fast....Never thought I would be going through this, but nobody ever does....I am praying for all on here going through this....it is trying for sure. But I have to say, with much prayer and prayers from my christian bro's and sisters, and this web site....God has given me peace about this...I know it will be ok whatever happens....I still have days where "worry" peaks it's ugly head, so please keep me in your prayers also...but God is Good....he calms my fears...he will yours too
