I want to thank you for all of the information on this site. It's left me feeling better about things.I will be having a lapratomy (sp?) on Friday afternoon. I am not so worried about what they will find but the surgery itself.I've never had major surgery before.Apparently the surgeon is going to start with a D&C and have a piece of my uterus examined while he then removes my left ovary with the large cyst on it. He said he'd then remove the uterus itself due to a thickening and heavy bleeding I have. He said he'd try to leave 1/3 of the cervix depending on the results of the findings.Also whether or not he leaves my right ovary depends on what it looks like and what the frozen biopsy thing says. That too will determine what else needs to be removed.I really don't know much about these things. Does this sound like the normal route of things? Apparently I'll be in the hospital for 4 days or so. Today I am on some narcotic pain meds but am feeling really nauseated and think I'd rather deal with the pain than the nausea. I do not throw up well! Thanks for any advice you can give me!
