Good Morning Susan,

I am so sorry to hear about your upcoming surgery.  I feel for you.  If you need anything, please let "Dad" and I know, we will be there for you.  I have not been through what you are going through, but the feelings of not having anymore children are very real to me and I'm sure a lot of other women.  It is natural to grieve for the loss of your organs, so don't think its silly.  Like I said,  if you need anything let us know, we will do what we can.  Take care and try and have a good day.

My Dear Susan,  There is no way I can imagine what you are going through right now.  I cannot even fathom the emotions that are surfacing during this time.  I think back to the time when you finally posted a picture for your avatar, and I think of where you are now.  I know that was very hard for you.   We are connected!  Everyone here on this board is connected by the support, compassion, and even love that we have for each other.  We are here for you, in everything you need!   I wish there were some magic words to help you feel better.  Because when a family member is hurting, I hurt also!  You are a very strong person, and your children know that.  If you or your kids need anything, please let us know!  Until then, prayers are being lifted for you and your family! You know, it is funny that we have only met in person that one time, but somehow we are all family! Scott/Dad

Susan, You have my prayers and please let me know if I can help in any way.  I know losing that part of you is very difficult  but you can take joy in the fact that you do have beautiful children.  You are a strong woman and you will come thru this just fine.  Much love and good thoughts to you! Paula

Hugs to you,  I had a hysto in 1991  after having my son 84 and daughter 89, it was the best day of my life, please try to keep a positive outlook it is for the best for you.... I will be praying for you and the surgeons and doctors and nurses.  Having a hstyo doesnt change who you are inside. you will be releved.  remember the memories you do have with your children and one day grandchildren if you dont have them now,  I am waiting for that day to become a grandma. hang in there hugs for youAnnrenee

Hi Missy, I have too walked in your shoes, at the age of 23 I had mine. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers, please let me know if  there is anything that I can do for you hon. Hugs Barb

Oh my dear sweet Susan, I can't imagine it but you know what, you are entitled to have the feelings that you do about the whole situation. There is nothing wrong with them and don't think that there is. I don't actually "know" you but I do know that there are some very sweet people here any time you need to talk. I'm sure you already know that.
I am in my 30's and don't have any children at all, so you do have the joy of children in your life. Always cherish them! It's too bad I'm not there with you. 
I'd let you lay on my shoulder and that's for real. 

I wish you the best and God will see you thru, I just know He will!


Take care and God Bless,
Diane

Sweetie, you are definitely in my prayers. I hope they can get this taken care of quickly and everything comes back cancer free. It is more important to have you here and healthy than for you to keep your "girlie parts". Especially since you weren't planning on using them anymore anyway. Keep us posted. I'm just guessing that you have already checked into FMLA and short term disability? If not, get thee to your HR office!

Susan,           I sure hate that you are going through this and wish I could somehow take the pain away from you!!!  Just try and stay positive and know that you have a lot of prayers coming your way from your new family!!! One of you many sisters!!! Shelia
