Due to another problem they found , unexpectedly , that I had ovarian cancer , for which I had had no symptom,s at all, and so that meant I had a total hysterectomy and also 6 months of chemotherapy. That was about 28 years ago, and because of the chemo it took me about 18months to feel really back to myself, but the operation part was ok after a few weeks. I had little time to read up or make any decisions, but certainly feel that no more periods was definitely an improvement, both physically and also not having to change or make complicated arrangements , and was able to organise myself without having periods to consider. I did have to cope with some hot flushes etc but dont know how much that was the removal of the ovaries and how much the chemo was affecting me . As I am still here to tell the tale at 78 it was obviously a good thing for me. The one other thing I would say is that if you are in good health apart from this problem, then I think you recover quicker and it is better than leaving it for now, and then possibly having some other health worry that might affect you later., which might mean you take a bit longer to recover. Good Luck with whatever you decide to do.
