Had a mass in my uterus. The Dr.s thought it could possibly be a cancer. After tests ( blood) were negative for cancer markers and biopsy was normal, the gyn doc sent me to a oncologist gyn. He said ,the oncologist, that he thought it was a fibroid about 5cm and to wait and see if it grew. (First gyn doc said it was as big as a soft ball?). Three weeks later bladder pressure sent me back to the oncologist. He recommended a total hysterectomy in case it was cancer (99.9% it wasn't cancer ) and even if it was just a large fibroid , it was guaranteed
I would grow another fibroid even though I am way past menopause. So I had the surgery. 8 weeks ago. Still have a deep pain at the end of urination Urine tested clear. Doesn't feel like an infection anyway. Also have a lot of pain when walking. Having terrible heat flashes at night, worse than during menopause. Also losing my hair, nails brittle, skin dry, i am so physically tired i can hardly function, not sleepy, just can hardly put one foot in front of other, and have zero mental ambition. The oncologist told me my hot flashes have nothing to do with my hysterectomy, neither do my hair, skin and nail problems, and I just need to wait to heal. She also told me 3 times that she was 1) an oncologist working with sick people, 2) treating patients with chemo 3) didn't have time to spend with me, as I don't have a cancer, and she has better things to do. Also told me women produce negligible hormones after menopause and taking my ovaries have zero to do with any symptoms I may have. I was very angry. I did not ask to go to this Dr., and felt like she wanted me to apologize for not having a cancer.. I have no idea if I was getting the straight facts from her . Wher do I go from here? Just give up?
