Hysterectomy After Breast Cancer
by jobanana, Sep 17, 2008 09:30PM
I recently had a lumpectomy, radiation and chemo for stage 1 breast cancer. I am now preparing for an oopherectomy because my cancer is estrogen positive. I'm receiving advice and the pros & cons to also have a hysterectomy from both medical professionals and patients who have had my same cancer experiences. I'm still undecided because I have now heard my bladder could fall.
Some of my history : My mother had breast cancer in 2003 and is still a survivor, 76 yrs. old. In 2004 a non-cancer growth was removed from her uterus and she had hysterectomy. She also had a history of non-cancer ovarian cysts.
I am 47 yrs. old, had 3 children and had no previous health issues other than this current breast cancer and a history of non-cancer cysts, both ovarian and breast. I had a brother who had cancer of the spleen and deceased at age 32.
Thank You !

You are very close to menopause years so if it were me I would go for the hysterectomy and give yourself a break from that worry.
