Dear Terri,

I am sorry you are dealing with complications after breast cancer. I was happy to hear you have not had a Hyst. either. My dear sister had breast cancer about five years ago. She is doing pretty well now, and I feel she went with a very good doctor and hospital staff - who have taken care of her very well. As for you, with the before, the breast cancer; I can only talk about any experiences with seeing and talking with my sister. I hope things fare well for you, as time progresses. My heart goes out to you, and know any woman has to have 'stamina' to conquer breast cancer, alone.

As far as a Hyst.; however, I can speak 'first hand' about this, as I had one. It was the worst mistake of my life. And with so many millions of other women out there who can claim the same - why go there? There is no going back well, just like having a breast/breasts removed; except, there are advantages with being able to have implants, and even right down to have available ways to avoid anyone knowing. My sister has been grateful for this.

The breasts are a part of a woman's physique, nurturing our babies, and enhancement to a male with love making. It can certainly make a woman feel 'less of a woman' by missing one or both; yet, not something which can be 'fixed' with what available now, with speaking of how 'things look' and a woman
can 'replace' breasts, in a way, after a surgery. My sister understands this well, and I know 'second hand' about this; so to speak. I am pretty 'savvy' too. My point here is, WITH A HYSTERECTOMY, there is no way to enhance, put back parts, and make a female feel better. This does not happen with a Hyst., and how dare these doctors, as I have said, get away with taking away a woman's precious gold. With breasts, a woman has ways, after a surgery, and augmenting, to help with this so much, but no woman can compensate for having her whole being pulled; her feelings, her sexual drive, her body being completely unbalanced, her insides being torn apart, her overall body feelings being VIOLATED, and almost as if 'raped' in a sense of the word; i.e., Hysterectomy. How dare these doctors getting away with this - WHEN ALTERNATIVES THERE. How dare these doctors, and I mean this so profoundly.

Please never get a Hysterectomy! There are ways to help out your specific situation. You have just
been to the wrong doctors; if they keep spilling out to you this is the 'route' to go. How dare them!

Terri, if I can save you, by golly, I hope I am right now. DO NOT DO IT! Your body may be one of the lucky few, but are you willing to take that chance when so much other methods are available? Quit that doctor who is telling you that this is the best route. Oh, it gets me going when doctors prevail with pushing a woman into believing this the only way... Shame on them...

With heart and soul,

See Dandy
