Try saying that three times fast. That's what a doctor told me I had when I went in to see her Monday, about having a roller-ball endometrial ablation done. It seems I need to have a hysterectomy, as this hyperplasia can turn pre-cancerous. The heavy periods I've had for some time are caused by this condition. The hyperplasia is caused by a hormone imbalance. (I believe I'm lacking in progesterone.) So, at the tender age of just 40, I'm going to lose my uterus. And gain relief from heavy blood loss, and the anemia it has caused. And, frankly, I'm OK with it.
Now I just have to figure out the logistics. It has to happen sometime between getting Noah settled into kindergarten, and Christmas. October seems good. We'll see what my doc says this week.
