Hi BJ,

I just had a total hysterectomy in October. I am a bit older than you are, I'm 56. I had endometrial cancer that had just begun to attach itself to the endometrial wall. So, thank God, they got all of it.

I had a total hysterectomy that means everything including the cervix and bottom lymph nodes. I am doing fine without hormones and didn't need any further treatment except the surgery.

Now, that being said, I also had fibroids that I had lived with for over 10 years. I began having heavy, irregular bleeding. But I was going through menopause and never stopped. The endometrial wall had thickened so much that the cancer began.

I am not sure about the hormones for you. Check out all the different therapies available to you also. Many doc's don't tell their people about alternative ways to hormones. Best of luck to you. I hope and pray all turns out and you don't have to need the surgery. Keep us up to date on your progress and don't forget to ask for prayer if you need it.

Blessings,
Sandpiper
