Close Cervical Cancer
Looking for information about cervical cancer and hysterectomy. Wife recently diagnosed with surface cancer (in cervix) ob/gyn cant tell if it has spread in uterus. Recommended a total hysterectomy on 11/02/07. Unable to tell us what stage she has, hope they tell us more after procedure. Wife also has issues with heart (several heart attacks, CAD, Degenerative Heart Disease)had extensive workup with Cardiologist before OB/GYN would do surgery. Trying to learn what I can to help her thru this.
Open Depression
Not sure, have felt down before for a day or two, lately since injuring back a year ago it seems things just aren't right. Not seeing a Dr yet, worried about family, but something needs to be done. Maybe talking here will help.
