Jesus, it's been a week. Let me not bury the lede! I am cancer free! I had my appointment on April 26 to find out the status of my surgery and the polyps were neither cancerous nor pre-cancerous! Huzzah! The doc and I sat down and went through my options for the future. They really want me to use some kind of IUD (whether copper or Mirena), birth control pill, or even just progesterone to control my period before even thinking about the hysterectomy (which I declared loudly what I wanted when I found out I was cancer free) and now I'm doubting my decision to have the surgery. The possibility of death, which is always a risk when you have anesthesia, wasn't the deterrent but the finality of the removal of the organ seem so bleak. I was trying to convince myself the finality wasn't the issue: TEH and I are not planning on having kids, the history of cancer in my family, the PCOS, and everything else gives me every reason to have the surgery but apparently I'm not ready yet so we'll see. I have an appointment at the end of May to make a decision and tbh, I'm still in a flux about it.
