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

At 24 I was told I had no choice, once baby was born. I tried shots but they didn't help, and I couldn't go on hormones cuz it would increase my chances of cell regrowth.
