I NEED MORE THAN ONE OPTION
When I finally met with my surgeon... to go over my options... I ended up with more devastating news.... apparently there is not one but 3 fibroids...one the size of a softball one the size of a peach and the third one is the size of a.........well lets just say the overall shock caused me to go into an O.B.E. when I finally came back into my body... I guess we were talking about different procedures, needing a bowel suspension, recovery time four months....and that if I didn't have them removed I might not make it to age 51.....Horrified yet relieved at the same time .....from the thought of this inside of me. I wanted them cut out of me immediately. I was so upset. All the questions I had for my Dr had blown out the window.... When I calmed down.... I said to my Dr... "no matter what happens .. no matter what you find (because they truly don't know how deep the fibroids run) you have to promise me I will still have my uterus"....he said "he could not and that a hysterectomy was my only option"...
..."Over my dead body am I having a hysterectomy".... is what i told him.. "That's not an option for me".... "EVER"....As of last month I started radical alternative therapy's combined with chemo injections... and judging by the way I feel after my first month of chemo.. its gonna be a long 5 months.
Funny when you are headed toward an outcome too horrible to face, you go looking for a second opinion. And sometimes, the answer you get just confirms your worst fears. But sometimes, it can shed new light on the problem, make you see it in a whole new way. After all the opinions have been heard and every point of view has been considered, you finally find what you're after - the truth. But the truth isn't where it ends, that's just where you begin again with a whole new set of questions.
