A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, usually done by a gynecologist. Hysterectomy may be total (removing the body and cervix of the uterus) or partial (also called supra-cervical). In many cases, surgical removal of the ovaries (oophorectomy) is performed concurrent with a hysterectomy. more at Wikipedia

Cancer was completly removed from my body.

My doctor and I felt like that it would be the best for me even though I only had 2 places on me. My paps were not that great so we decided to just take it all out. Horrible hot flashes, loss of sexual desire and weight gain.
