Did she keep her uterus? If so why?

Hysterectomy tends to lead to additional problems, such as bladder prolapse, and each further intervention is likely to result in additional complications. Strangely enough, we’re designed for best functioning when all our organs are in their original configuration.

If her oncologists didn’t view the uterus as a cancer risk of itself, then leaving it is the smartest choice.

she did keep it and it was because there was no family history of uterine cancer. she had 3-4 immediate family members die of ovarian cancer. She knows she cannot prevent cancer 100% but is doing what she can within reason. I notice men are sounding off on this as if she were an idiot, but I wonder how many of them have close family members who have died of these reproductive cancers and/or who carry the BRAC1 gene.
