The visit went great! I really liked the doctor. I got a lot of great information to help me make my decisions, and she talked to me like a human being (not that Dr. M doesn't! But I still remember Dad's doctor...jerk!). If I get the surgery, I want her to do it. She said my regular gyn. could do it, but given that he thinks it's a bad idea I just don't think I would want to. Plus she is a specialist.
No decisions yet. Lots of info still to get. But I think the hysterectomy is definitely a go. I am at high risk for ovarian cancer due to Mom's having it AND my BC. And if I get my ovaries chopped out -- no tamoxifen!! Yay. She said the stuff I would take in that case has far fewer side effects.
I am very satisfied with this visit and look forward to getting on with it. :)
It is amazing what a difference the right doctor makes.
