I liked your upbeat message. (BTW I had total hyst. when I was 41. And, again, have always been active and healthy and in pretty good shape. I never knew if that surgery was overkill (back in 1980's I guess it was a different time) as no cancer was discovered. BUT, I INSISTED I HAVE ESTROGEN REPLACEMENT THERAPY to replace the hormones I lost. My surgeon said NO as cyst could have been hormone dependent. So I went to another fairly well-known gynecological endocrinologist at an excellent hospital in NYC who gave me ERT for about 10 years. (I eventually stopped the Premarin as it became controversial - but continued the Provera).

well every female in my family had gotten endometrial and cervical cancer as we have B lynch syndrome which is a mutated gene that causes many kinds of cancers. I started bleeding and she did a biopsy and i had pre cancer cells. so it was time to get the surgery and pray they didnt find any cancer and it was great NO cancer. so i'm the first and only one who didn't get the cancer. almost everyone in my family has had 1 to 4 different cancers and been thru chemo and radiation but me and my brother. I hope it stays that way. I did not do any replacement therapy i was given a wild yam cream to put a pea sized bit of it on my belly every morning and i have had no menopause or any kind of issues at all. just had my year check up after the surgery and she said everything was great. so i use the yam cream every morning it seems to be working great.
