@naturegirl5 I'm really happy to connect with others on here, and I think it is very helpful.. Come to think of it.I don't even know how I found it but i'm really happy that I did.. I think, as far as the hysterectomy, it comes with a lot of physical changes and sometimes emotions get out of control- a little. Hormones are off. I always wanted children and I think the hysterectomy, just solidified that I will never have them.. That's something i've had to work through and I'll continue to work through, I believe.. I still struggle some with the fact that the mass was there and I didn't know it was there for a while.. But I do have supportive people in my life, and I do have people I can talk to. Maybe just accepting the fact that life isn't exactly how you want it all the time... I've always known that, but sometimes it hits you the wrong way. Thanks for reaching out

@alh4791 Thank you for your reply. With all the changes including a hysterectomy your reply shows that you are making room, emotionally, for it all. You have supportive people, people who listen to you, and are working towards accepting that the life now and ahead isn't quite how you thought it would be. You are so right. Deep down, we know that but we can hope for the life we designed for ourselves.

I'm happy to know that you feel the connection here on Mayo Clinic Connect is helpful for you. Like you, I stumbled on Connect after my hysterectomy for endometrial cancer. That was almost 7 years ago. It's the only site I've "stuck with" because I feel that we support one another by sharing our own stories with respect for one another.

What is Spring like where you live? Do you enjoy a change of seasons?
