Hysterectomy - Problems after?

I started bleeding. I was in Italy for a month and just returned the 16th of July. I stopped bleeding (after a month of on again, off again, two days stopped and then 5-7 days spotting. I got very concerned when it turned bright red.) and haven't started up again. However, I have too many circumstances in my history; colon cancer, polyps removed and now bleeding. The doc is concerned and that's enough for me. Take it, so I don't have to live afraid anymore...amd of course if it's cancer...

@gregv You were wise to go to the doctor. I learned that post-menopausal bleeding needs to be evaluated. My gynecologist, at the time, told me that the bleeding could be caused by a number of things so he recommended a D & C and hysteroscopy. That was when endometrial cancer was diagnosed. If I had a history of cancer at the time I think we may have gone straight to the hysterectomy as you plan to do.

Is your pre-op appointment today?
