Hi Lisajane.  I am sorry to hear about your Mum and hope that her treatment is going well.  You can contact the nurses here on the site who may be able to give you more information (their number is shown at the bottom of the page).  Personally, if I were in your position, I would talk to my GP and explain my fears and hopes for a hysterectomy.  You may find that he/she is very understanding of your situation and agrees that a referral would be of benefit.  Alternatively, as far as I am aware, there is a bloodtest that can detect raised CA levels for ovarian cancer - and your GP may at least offer you regular blood monitoring to check this.  I hope the nurses can offer you appropriate advice.  Best wishes to your Mum and your family x
