30 days and counting down

I am 30 days away from a TAH with right tube and ovary removal and am starting to get a little nervous. I totally trust my doctor as I have seen him for almost 20 years. When people find out I am only 39 years old, I get alot of unwelcome comments. Any advice to help ease the anxiety as the date inches closer?

Hi plkurki and

The feelings you describe are nearly universal for "Ladies-in-Waiting." I hope that the following, from our Pre-Op Articles archive, will be helpful to you:

I'm sending positive thoughts your way for a successful surgery and uneventful recovery.

Many s to you,

I find the negative comments interesting. I got them too. If you feel a hysterectomy is right for you then get one! You are only 6 years younger than me! However, 39 just sounds much younger thank 45.

I was scared too, before you know it you will be done and helping others like me.

All the best.
