Just over 18 months ago, I had a full hysterectomy because they thought I had ovarian cancer…. almost 10 months ago I had MOAS* and in October I had my ileostomy reversed….. today I ran for the third week – 1.9 miles 

My first scan is in March and I have no idea what the future holds, this illness sucks but I’m embracing the moment……

I can’t say it enough… are you dealing with a PMP specialist? If not, I would say you must.

He would have told me to watch and wait if in his experience there was a low risk. And I would have done it.
