“Thank you very much for all your emails, I have found them very useful and a daily support in the build up to my sub total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy .. I have spent hours searching your website and have read 101 handy hints to a happy hysterectomy and a pocket guide, all very informative and helpful in preparing me for my operation and what to expect afterwards.”
Have enjoyed receiving the daily emails very much, and have often followed leads. Have read forum posts but not participated. I trust the website and its information, have found everything to be of value and well presented. I’d been put off the internet by a bad experience with the “HERS” US-based website, a lobbying group against hysterectomies, very biased, unbalanced ‘information’. To be blunt, it scared the hell out of me, and I actually put off having a hysterectomy because of it – not helpful. I’m telling you this because I found that link through the “Wikipedia” article on hysterectomies, which is quite a good article, and I thought the link would be kosher. Probably many women use that as their starting point. Perhaps you could also warn women about it on your own website. Unfortunately, it was one of the first places I saw about hysterectomies and it put my health back because I avoided having an operation I needed, such a shame. None of the dire consequences promised on their website have been true for me – your website has proven far more balanced and informative.
All regular emails were really well received. They answered all the questions I would ask and more. They offered extremely helpful tips and advice all of which I have taken on board and implemented. I have felt extremely well supported. knowledge is most certainly power. So far I am having a pleasant time recovering and much I have to admit is down to the advice and info you have provided.
I am back at home after having my hysterectomy and I want to thank you for all the hints you have been sending. I had a complete hyster, due to having cancer they decided to take out all but the kitchen sink (so as to say!) and I have a huge scar! All went went but I have to say the trapped wind situation was agony and lasted 2 days. I took your advice re: peppermint cordial, which i hated because it was so sweet, also had peppermint tea. Thanks for all your tips and help! I found the website very useful and reassuring.
I really liked the daily email and also the advice given in bite size chuncks in ’101 Handy Hints for a Happy Hysterectomy ‘. I was told that I needed a hysterectomy out of the blue and I’m hoping that it is going to resolve all the health problems I had for 4 years. A frriend recommended your site so I’ve got all your info well in advance – I’m still waiting for the biopsy to check for cancer and haven’t got a date for my hysterectomy yet but it means that I can get prepared slowly, within my limited energy reserves.
