Julie:

Yes, and the doctors tell me, "You can’t beat yourself up over that," because that's the guidelines they give you, tell you, if you’re diagnosed early with one or the other and your genetic factor is positive, they give you till your 40. It’s kind of the range, and I was 39; I was close. So, but yes, I definitely wished I would have had the hysterectomy when they asked me to.
