Hi all, this week i'm talking about the wild rush of emotion that comes with being told you need a hysterectomy, and not knowing whether the growth is cancerous.

I film all sorts of videos here, and I try to organise them, sort of… check out my home page for playlists on writing, spirituality, narrow boating, menopause — pretty much anything my over 40, British brain takes a fancy to.

In my 5th week of recovery from a total abdominal hysterectomy. Bored and feeling slightly cross about sitting at home and not getting to clean up the house. So grateful for the family's support and overall feeling better without all the physical symptoms I was having before the surgery. I had both ovaries removed too. Since I am 53 I'm not having much menopause symptoms. Appreciate your sharing because it helps so many women. We will all get theough this.

All the emotions you talk about are also the ones you can feel in menopause. I’m in menopause and mourning is part of it. I don’t hide my feelings all the time. In fact I’m open about it so my family members know that my hormones let me act differently than I’m actually am. Yes, my children see me cry but they also see me laughing through my tears. That is the message I want to give to my family members. Besides that. I sent you lots of love and strength. The waiting time is a lot to handle too. BB take care🌟

I can so relate to how you felt about the hysterectomy, I'm 52 and have had four children. I feel exactly the same even though I know I need to have one

I know that I’m just now seeing this vide but it is very helpful as I’m about to embark on my own journey.

Thank you for sharing. In June I’ll be a year out from my surgery and finally things are looking up and I am living my best life. It’s been a long road but all is well. I hope things are well with you.

I'm going through all this at the moment. MRI to see what surgery they recommend is in a few hours. Thankyou for being so honest.
