Uhhh that's not cool?? I'm on Lupron, which I know is different. You've been on it for so long...maybe your body has grown a tolerance against it. Perhaps switch to a different but similar treatment? SO sorry for your pain. Praying for you. xoxo

Okay, then ask them about it. The options they give you aren't restrictive. And remember, no doctor knows everything.

As with the Lupron, you may want to call them up and ask why, and ask about plain hysterectomy (uterus only) and "total" hysterectomy. The latter isn't medical terminology so say specifically that you want to know why not take out ovaries, tubes, uterus & cervix.
On the latter they'll say "oh, but you'll want your ovaries passing along hormones til they die" but what they really mean is that they'll leave one or both so that you'll need another surgery in a few years.
Yes, jaded much here lol
