I made the biggest desicion in my life,having my ovaries and fallopian tubes removed and I have support.I lost my my mom to 4th stage ovarian cancer 2 monthes ago and had the DNA test if I have the gene for it last month and I do.I decided to do this because I do not want to go through this in my life and I am not regreting it at all.I talked to my father and his girlfriend Cathy Jo,my partner Yasmine about it and told me I have support behind them.The surgery is in 2 weeks and not looking back.
wow, that is a huge decision. Personally, I think it's the right one, because you are at risk and this way you don't have to go through what your mother went through. but I'm glad you have support! and I'm also sorry about your mother.
My partner Yasmine had it done 5 years ago after losing an aunt to this and says she does not regret it to this day.My doctor says I made the right decision too knowing I am at risk.
That's a very big step for you to take but it definitely seems like it's the right one. Good luck with that.
What a huge decision to make, but it seems like the right one for you. I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery following the procedure!
Thanks and it is going to be done October 6th.I have talked to 3 other women including my boss's wife that had this done and said I made a great decision.Plus my partner and I also had a talk with her 11 year old daughter Zoe about this and Zoe now understands why I am doing this.My partner does plan on having her tested for the Ovarian Cancer Gene if she has it,next month.We did have a talk with Zoe's doctor and said this was a good idea.
I am looking forwards the surgery on Oct. 6th.My boss's wife will be by my side on surgery day and has told me I made the right decision.My mom went through pain and I am not going through that.I held her hand when she passed and I had tears coming out of my eyes when she passed away.I am over it,I began talking to a grief counsoler after her death and that has worked.
