Total Abdominal Hysterectomy Pre Cancer Cells Posted: 07-14-04 17:33pm
I had a total abdominal hysterectomy 3
years ago. After my surgery, they sent
my tubes, overies, and a part of my cervix
to a lab in the armed forces. (they are
supposed to have the best pathologists in
the world) they found cancer in all of the
samples. I am now on hrt and have to
have a pap test done every 6 months. I
am on prempro .625. I am having hot
flashes, I can't sleep, I have gained
weight, I have vaginal, dryness, I have no
disire for sex, I am worn out all the
time. I try to eat right. And I walk
daily, but nothing seems to help. I
would like to get off the hrt completly
but I don't know if it's the right thing
to do. It scares me sence they have
proven that hrt causes cancer. Please
help me!!!!

Post Complete Hysterectomy Problems Posted: 07-14-04 20:52pm
I had the complete hysterectomy a couple
years ago, didn't your Dr. Tell you that
you would automatically go into menopause
after the surgery. I was told that I
should not be on h.R.T. After them
putting me on premarin(doctor error) for
one month after sugery and I have heard it
from other women that have had
hysterecomies due to cancer that they did
not have h.R.T. Because of the cancer.
I feel, if I were you, I would get another
opinion about the h.R.T.. I had weight
gain also. Premarin is a steroid and
steroids cause weight gain. Have you
thought about maybe a natural herb, their
is a naturopathic Dr. That is on this
forum alot that is into naturopathic
medicine his name is drvenugopal, he has a
lot of posts on here on ehealth but I know
for sure he does have one under the back
pain forum! I am not telling you not to
take your premarin(i am no dr) maybe he
might be right in your situation, as we
are all different! I would sure check it
out if I were you, keep us updated on what
you find out! I still have my pap's.
Sincerely,
sandy
