I am having a biopsy for uterine cancer next week. I am told this is not a big deal, ha ha ha, although I have told them I have panic disorder, doctors are good about being deaf when they like.

I am bleeding after two years of complete menopause (no menstral periods), have been for six weeks. After an ultrasound and a test to make sure my cervix is okay (it is), they determined my uterus is normal and has very little extra tissue growth (the normal cause of bleeding).

I am concerned because, while one of my ovaries has shrunk down to the size of a raisin, which is normal (according to nurse), the right one is still rather large. I have asked them whether this ovary should be biopsied also, since the source of hormones is the ovaries--why is this ovary continuing to send out hormones? I am frustrated because the doctors won't pay attention to my concerns.

I have a very active sex life with my husband and if these surgeries affect my orgasms, I am going to be extremely sad (jeez, like I need more sadness in my life). This concern is also tossed away by the doctors. Their attitude seems to be: multiple, intense orgasms in a woman of 55? You don't need those.

Yes I do!!!

I would love replies for advice or support. Thanks everyone.
