Does A Full Hysterectomy Prevent Cancer In Future?
My girlfriend just told me that her daughter is having a full hysterectomy next week - her doctor told her she would not get breast cancer if she did this. My girlfriend did have breast cancer about 10 years ago - stage 1 - I've NEVER heard of this - seems a bit drastic - she is not having any female problems. She is 42 years old
