Default I have cervical and uterine cancer should I get a particial hysterectomy or a

full hysterectomy? Also what are the chances of the cancer spreading to my ovaries and should the doctor tack my bladder when he's done. Also how long is the healing process afterwards.
Ihave asked the doctor about a full hysterectomy but he said I was to young and thats why he wants to do a particial

A. Talk you your oncologist, and if you aren't comfortable, or are having trouble with his answers, try discussing them with your regular physician.
B. Join a support group. These women will have gone through it too, and can tell you their stories and how they feel, and putting a human twist to the situation might help you make your own decisions.
C. The recovery time is probably different for everybody.
D. Why would they take your bladder? Would you get a transplant or have a urine bag? What would you be happier with, and is it worth the risk?

These are things that should have already been discussed with your doctor. Since you are asking the questions here, I feel that you don't have 100% trust in your doctor. If that's the case, there is nothing wrong with getting a second opinion, or a third or fourth if you need to, from new physicians.

Also, you may want to read up on these conditions at www.webmd.com; it has lots of helpful information, and could perhaps help you formulate additional questions you want to ask your doctors.
