did they do the surgery while you were awake?

[AMC2208]

@MsPurple222 no I was under anesthesia both times

Thank you for sharing this story with us. I have a question: now you are pregnant (congrats by the way!), will you be allowed to go the whole 40weeks because of the surgeries you had, and could you have a vaginal delivery or have to have a c-section?

[AMC2208]

I should be able to carry to full term and theoretically have a vaginal birth. My surgery did not harm my uterus, I think there was just a tiny scar on a corner where the ovary or fallopian tube was fused a little. My family has a history of C-section because of small pelvic bones though, so that may be a factor.

sweetheart please go to your follow ups..u got it once with no warning, whats to say your not going to get it again? i know your cancer free now & thats great it really is, & i guess revisiting something that dark in your life every 6months seems pointless & u just wanna live a normal life, but please please go to them they are so important in detecting anything early...its a check over most people would have wished theyd had every 6mnths if it catches cancer early i knw its horrible good luck x

God, your experience sounds terrible. I can't believe what aholes doctors can be. I had the second (laproscopy) surgery for some unexplained (but painful) scar tissue that was conecting my ovary to my uterus and colon. Periods and sex were so painful for a while. My doctor was such a jerk. Rude and not comforting. My anesthesiologist was very nice, though. Amazing what demeanor can do for your healing. I'm so glad to hear about your current health and surviving such an awful disease!
