Dear Anonymous writing Jan. 12th, and response to Terri's last comment before: You said things so well. I hope you, Terri, heed her comments. There are so many women who just do not talk about their aftermath problems after a Hyst., and this is one sad thing. I wish I could meet you in person, Terri. I know I would change your mind. One woman to tell her story should be enough to stop you from doing this hideous surgery. I am saying - if I met you in person - you would not go through with this operation in any shape or form. You need to decide this: Do you want to take the chance of having this operation, have horrific aftermath problems - worse than what you experience now, but also... there is no going back? I cannot stress this enough. I don't care if you may think my comment is one of a "minority". This is not the case, but even if you may tend to think this; you do not want to take the chance to become part of this (if you feel this way) 'minority'. We are not a minority; however. We have just not been heard. I feel so sad that we are in this day and age, and this is still happening to women when unnecessary. I sware - people will look back on this someday, and be horrified that doctors got away with this castration, mutilation, and life changing surgery to a woman's body.

I may take on a tangent here, but not too far off: Back in 1939, 1940, 1941... my mother heard of Jews being taken from their homes, and sent off to camps, and then they were 'eliminated' with horrible measures. My mother said people in the U.S. could not believe this. No human being would do this to another. It is not true she said other people believed could not be happening. Well, we know the truth with this now. By the same token; as I am saying - we will look back on this, and people will say, "How did doctors get away with this?"

Terri, I have spent much time on this blog. I would not do this if not so important to save you from such a dasterdly thing. It is that important to me to help save you. I made a committment after my Hyst., and it was that whenever I heard of another woman considering, being talked into a Hyst.; I would do what I could to save her. I do wish I could see you in person. I guarantee - after our physical visit - you would not walk, but run out of any GYN's office who tried to tell you you need one...

Atta Girl, Anonymous, and thank you, Pat Elliott, for your post.
