Ladies, always advocate for yourself.

Ladies. My beautiful ladies. If you are reading this, then you know how much I am not only a believer in listening to your own body, but in also being your own advocate. In life there are some issues that are easily spotted and easily diagnosed, and others which are the complete opposite, and as a woman I know how the system can make you feel crazy and that it's "all in your head" as your body is telling you something. Push on. Push back, and listen to your body.
As you know, I was scheduled to have a hysterectomy on Dec 5 and the plan was to leave both my ovaries. This was due to heavy dysfunctional bleeding I've been experiencing since my cancer treatment. While Dr's have all agreed it wasn't "normal," they mostly agreed it was just something that happened to women without any reason all the time. I still pushed. And I finally got a Dr that listened to me and that would do the operation. I also had my post surgical follow up today.
