Hi I agree with everything Ginger says..the one thing is if you are planning considering a pregnancy I would urge you to see a high risk pregnancy dr as well as a neperologist (kidney specialist) our kidneys are so vital we dont want to comprimise them...a uterus removal is a hard surgery as far as recovery and emotions ..but you (anyone) can live quite well with out the uterus.
Please update us when you can.

It does sound like it would be the best solution. I can see what the doctor means. If they leave the ovaries, at least you wouldn't experience surgical menopause, which can be a bit brutal. But you would say goodbye to your womb. How do you feel about that? It might be a good idea, for the sake of your general health.
Fibroids naturally shrink after menopause, and often cause no more trouble, but with the kidney involvement, I would say it's best to have the surgery. But it depends whether you intended to have children yet, or more children, if you already have a family.
