Hello P3GRU, 

I am glad your cervical cancer was caught very early at Stage 1a1 and that after the 2 LLETZ procedures they managed to remove all the cancer. This must be a huge relief to you. It's a very difficult decision to have to make and one important factor is that even though you are still young, you are sure you are not planning to have any more children. I have edited the title of your thread slightly so that it can be spotted by others who have had to make this decision before on whether to have a hysterectomy and they will be able to tell you how they weighed the pros and cons and how they themselves made their minds up about whether to have the operation or not. Our website has detailed information on the hysterectomy 

Do you know whether these pre-cancerous cells will be closely monitored if you decided not to have the hysterectomy? I hope that you will make the right decision for you and that you will hear from the experiences of others here who have had to make the same difficult decision before. Should you wish to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, feel free to call them on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their helpline is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and they will do their best to advise you and answer any questions you may have. 

Whatever you decide, it's great news that your cancer was caught early and that all this is behind you now.

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
