After seeing five separate OB/GYN’s and receiving almost as many opinions…I found a very conservative OB/GYN. While he did say that at some point (within the next 10 years) I will need a hysterectomy. But, for now he has suggested Her Option aka Cryoablation therapy.Basically, they go in and freeze your uterus to http://txmedicalfreak.blogspot.com/2008/11/her-option-cryoablation-monday.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Mandy)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4340564042225112280.post-3744745050342321080Sat, 08 Nov 2008 00:25:00 +00002008-11-12T09:20:02.651-06:00My last post was an update on my grandmother and her fight with Pancreatic cancer.

I hope that she doesn’t, the chemo that my husband had was terrible.

The results were not good. It is stage III Pancreatic Cancer that is inoperable due to the tumor’s attachment to her gall bladder ducts and other organs. This on top of her PNH, other health problems and her age (88 ½). The doctor has discussed some chemotherapy but, this would only prolong her life some, it would not be a cure. http://txmedicalfreak.blogspot.com/2008/10/updates-on-my-grandmother-and-my.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Mandy)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4340564042225112280.post-6597630983160279356Wed, 15 Oct 2008 19:01:00 +00002008-10-15T14:14:51.199-05:00So far today, I have been on the phone with law firm after law firm after law firm and I am starting to feel like this picture.
