today a gyn Dr. Called and said I had results from test which was by a camera inserted into the vagina and pictures this was a repeat from before a d&c about 2 months ago well he said the cells were still norman and the growth was the same size and there was no sign of cancer but that the uterine wall was 5 cm ? And normal was 2.5 cm and that this disturbed him since he thought it would shrink. Lets do a hysterectomy and be safe he suggest . I am asmatic and I also have been without a sex life for over 20 yrs. Now I am planning on a relationship and I want to be whole for this man. Also all my family has died of ca one form or another. The alternative is to wait for a yr and see what developes, I am at a loss why the push for the hysterectomy when things are normal and not changed I do realize there is a thickness and that there is a dormant growth. What to do I have no pain, no discharge and I feel great. And this was all found by accident in a screening because of routine weight loss after the death of my husband two yrs ago. Am asking what would you do? Oh I am 69 yrs old.
