After seeing the consultant in March, I finally have a date for my hysterectomy with BSO: in 3 weeks' time, I'll be starting the menopause.
So basically, I'm posting to hear anyone's experience of hysterectomy, any tips for the hospital stay (what to take, what to do etc), and anything about the menopause.
I'm 34yo, I have two kids already, so no worried about that side of things. I found out last December I'm BRCA1+ (one of the cancer genes) so am having risk-reducing surgery. They are hoping to do it all keyhole, however as my eldest was born by emergency CS, if there is too much internal scarring, they'll reopen my CS scar, and a two-day hospital stay will turn into a 5-day one.
Thanks in advance.
