Hi fasting21days. It seems like you're torn about whether to get surgery, since you've scheduled and cancelled it twice. Assuming there isn't any obvious spread yet, let me vote for scheduling it a third time and going through with it. The robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery that most women get really isn't bad at all. In and out in one day, and you start feeling pretty good 2-3 days later. Going through menopause suddenly probably isn't fun (I wouldn't know), but it's not so fun doing it slowly either (that I do know). And since you're 50, it's going to happen to you sometime in the next 5 years anyway.
Is it possible that cures off the internet work for some people? Sure. But they haven't been tested and trying them in this situation is a real crapshoot.
Call the doctor and get it out of there.

I had endometrial cancer at age 50 and had not yet started menopause. I had a hysterectomy with ovaries removed. The effect of going into immediate menopause caused very difficult night sweats. I was put on estrogen to eliminate them which it did. But 7 months later I developed breast cancer so was taken off estrogen immediately. When I went off estrogen, fortunately the night sweats did not return. That was back in 1997 so I'm unaware what the solution is now for the night sweats.

Thank you for your kind encouragement and advice-
Very much appreciated and needed- thank you!
The oncologist advices radiation but with my lunch syndrome- not sure.
The reason I ran away yesterday from my surgery table is that I have had 2 units of blood donation( as I am not vaccinated and wanted to make sure I stay with the same blood) one unit was discarded so that was one big factor and I was in worst emotional distress of my life so even the surgeon doc said he won’t do the Witt for me today I am not ready. But right now need to decide : to try radiation first or just schedule the surgery. Please advice. Thank you
