Thanks Phillipa and Ronaldo,
Ronaldo, your point makes good sense that if I've been a "victim of my hormones" I'd still be using hormones after the hysterectomy with the HRT. Perhaps the only benefit to that is that my doctor can add and subtract what's needed, whereas now I am just at the mercy of my body. My gynecologist is renowned for endocrinology and surgery, so I feel I am in good hands. Still, I am scared and have read many a horror story about life after menopause. So ALL comments are welcome!Thanks again,
