Nope it wasn't myomectomies. It was 3 hysterectomes. First was partial, second was complete, third...the doctors left some tissue behind from the second and it started growing.
And you sharing that you also had a hysterectomy at 31, scares me even more about timing.

The situation is so complex. It's an emotional topic for myself and the majority of people. I hope you and everyone else understands why I won't address this concern atm. It is a concern, all my doctors are aware of the situation, and I have been completely honest with them. It's just a part of the reason why talking about this is so difficult. Every time I read someone post about their concern on this thread, it breaks my heart. I know it's not meant to hurt me, but it does. I just don't know how to even start talking about this issue. I'm sorry.

Whether you talk or read, your T shouldn't be able to tell you you cannot read something you've brought in.

One of the things I'm working on in therapy is verbalizing things. Even if I stutter, go blank, cry, etc., she wants me to speak on my own. Yes, if I have to, she would allow me to read. But not from a letter format. It has to be an outline format. My T can tell me to do anything, but I can choose whether or not to listen to her. I typically do listen to her. I think I'm just going to have a go about verbalizing on my own. I did it last week about attachment.
