YVONNE BOWMAN BURTON
Abstract:
Twelve years ago, I was sitting across the desk from my gynecologist. He was telling me I should have a hysterectomy and then take replacement hormones. Some questions came to my mind as soon as the surge of fear abated. Could you take my uterus out vaginally, I wanted to know? “No,” he said, “the right way to do you is through the abdomen.” Would you take my ovaries out, too, I asked? “Yes,” he said, “why leave them in to get cancer later on?”
