Cervical cancer...Hysterectomy:(

edited February 2016 in November 2015 Moms
I had my son November 21st. He's is my world along with my 9 year old son. I have had issues with recurrent cancer cells on my cervix. Of course once again my pap came back abnormal with high grade cervical dysplasia and each time the cells get a stage worse. I'm currently waiting to get colposcopy results but my dr already recommends a hysterectomy. I'm quite sure we are done having babies but part of me is heart broken at the thought of knowing I will never be able to get pregnant again. I can't explain it, we are done having babies and are content with the 2 kids we have but I think it's just the fact that it won't be an option again. It won't be physically possible even if we did want more. I'm afraid I will feel like less of a woman without my girl organs even though they've caused me nothing but problems lol I'm sure that sounds weird. Just not sure what to do or how to feel

    No advice but my mom, aunts, and grandma on my mothers side all had to have hysterectomies. All due to ovarian cancer/cysts. 
    I'm sorry you're having troubles Moma! I can't imagine what you're going through but sending prayers and good thoughts your way! Stay strong!

    No advice I just wanted to say I'm so sorry for your situation. Even though you're done having kids,it must be hard to come to terms with it being so final. My thoughts are with you!!

    So sorry you are going through this. It sounds like what you are feeling is normal like pp said. Have you considered going to a support group? This is a very difficult thing to go through and it may help to talk to other women who have also gone through this or are going through this. 

    Thinking of you.

    I am sorry you are you going thru this.  I had some complications with this pregnancy and there was the possibility I would of needed a hysterectomy.   Even though I was planning on having my tubes tied anyway the thought of not having a uterius still really bothered me.  I had the same less of a woman feelings. I mentioned my feeling to a friend who told me of another woman we knew had a hysterectomy over 10 years ago, I had no idea.  For some reason the  fact I had no idea really make me feel better about possibly needing one.  Overall it probably took me about two months to be comfortable with the idea.  In the end things went very well during my CS and I got to keep my uterus.  All that being said I think what you are going thru is completely normal. 
    And on the plus side, AF will never visit again.

    I'm so sorry you're going through this! It sounds like you're having perfectly normal and valid feelings about this. I hope you have someone in your real life you can talk to about this for support as well!

    I will get through it  :/ I think I may look for a counselor just to ease my mind about it all. I'm scheduled for April 27th to have the surgery and I keep reminding myself how lucky I am to have my 2 boys when some women don't get the joy of being a mommy period. I could be worse off for sure but it's still difficult to come to terms with. Thank you ladies for the support it means the world to me!!

    I know this is a post from last year, but I'm so sorry you're going through this. We are TTC and I just found out I have Adenocarcinoma. My Dr. wants to do a hysterectomy but he knows we are trying to have more babies so We are doing a LEEP with D&C and hystoscopy first. We have one, and while we want more I'd be happy adopting too but I totally understand what you're saying. I hate knowing once it's all gone, there's no chance for future babies.  Hope everything works out. ::Hugs::
