You're so young to have this cancer! Please reconsider having a hysterectomy. I know you want a baby, but this cancer is so mean. It comes back when you least expect it, and if you remove the source early you have a much better survival rate. I'm so sorry you are going through this. I went through it at 53 after menopause. That's when you're supposed to get it, not at your young age. If you're going through chemo - don't let the bad days get you down. After the chemo you will be surprised at how great you feel - although it seems like you will never get there when you are going through it. Good luck and God Bless.
