Hi again, I posted in November, in brief a complex cyst was discovered on my ovary last year, I was booked in to have both ovaries and tubes removed last November but in the final hour the operation was cancelled and I was sent home because they had ran out of time and I was last on the list that day. I only just had my consultation yesterday and my surgeon agreed to a full hysterectomy (I did request this because also my womb lining is thick and they wanted to biopsy it whilst I was being operated on and also insert a coil whilst 'in there' which I wasn't happy about)
I requested a partial hysterectomy to leave my cervix intact but my surgeon told me he'd refuse this and if I wanted that then I'd need to get a second opinion. I have no idea what to do, I fear removing my cervix as well is going to be drastic and my concern is having a normal sex life afterwards, it feels like I'll loose all my womanhood, has anyone got any advice and experience to share? My ca125 levels have been fine so far, I waiting on the results from yesterdays ca125 test. I'm in priority hence the rush in only having until today to call the hospital to let them know if I wish to proceed or not
I am 52 years old, post meno and have 3 kids so surgical menopause or fertility isn't an issue for me personally
Thanks
