As stated in my story, I had a bleeding cyst. It needed to be removed or it could have been life-threatening. The surgery work to remove the tumor. My headaches have significantly improved. My hormone levels have improved but not resolved.

This is where I should have stopped. I was fine after surgery the chemo took my natural vitality away and it has never come back.

4 lithotripsies-and a surgery for a 8 mm one that could not get out-it was stuck. The procedures worked-I just can't seem to stop making new ones!

I had a MRM on breast cancer side and 5 positive lymph nodes removed. That was over 2 yrs ago so I will assume it worked.

I had a hysterectomy for endometriosis 27 years ago and an endometrial tumor removed 7 months ago.
Working / Worked
Had a hysterectomy w/ both ovaries left in that confirmed I had Adenomyosis (which explained the debiliating cramps) it bought me a little bit of time & I was pain free for about 15 months but living w/ pain & constant diarrhea took a toll on my life again so I went in for surgery #2 which confirmed scar tissue from the 1st surgery was tangled up in a knot around my left tube,ovary,& intestine. It seems my main enemy is scar tissue so surgery seems to work in the beginning but only for so long.

I had one breast removed per surgery. I had a lot of postop pain in my left upper arm. It was a feeling of someone rubbing sand paper on my upper arm. It lasted a few months after surgery. I used the pain patch and pain meds because it was so bad. The doctor said he didn't understand why I had that pain but I think he cut my brachial nerve. Many women that I've talked to have had the same.

I had to have one removed by inserting a scope through by bladder to my ureter and pull out the stone. NOT a fun experience!
