I was 25 yrs. old when dignosed with ovarian cancer. I had on child a son who was 8 mos. old. I had to get a total hysterectamy. Now I feel like a much older woman. I have no sex drive, sometime i'm down because I can't experience being pregnet and giving birth. Don't get me wrong I thank GOD every day for all my blessing especially my son and his father who's been there every step.

Whats the question or are you just venting?

what you are going threw is what is expected at having a total hysterectamy at such a young age!I would go talk to my MD and I am pretty sure there is some kind of hormone drug he can put you on to help some of those side effects due to the TH!!!!GOOD LUCK!!!

I think these feelings are pretty normal for someone in your situation. I would talk withmy Dr. about horomone replacement theraphy that can help and find a good lubercant. Try to find you a good therapist or grief counselor or support group to join to help you deal. Once you learn to deal with the issues then you can go at life on your own. God Bless you and find peace some how so you can be happy agian.

When you had a hysterectomy at such a young age, it threw you right into menopause. All the symptoms you experience are probably a result of that. Since you had cancer, HRT (hormone replacement therapy) is not an option for you. You should speak with your Gyne about this. There may be something he can do to help you. There is an estrogen pill that you can insert directly into the vagina that doesn't get absorbed into your body, but only a physician can tell you exactly what to do. There are herbal remedies out there also, but I cannot attest to their validity.

You are so right to be thankful to God for your health, husband, and son. Maybe you would like to think about adoption?
