Women’s stories
It’s your health we’re talking about!
After a lot of heavy bleeding and testing positive for cancerous cells on her ovary,
Savannah, 39, felt it was best to have a hysterectomy. She found Women to Women
at just the right time! Instead of going into the procedure fearing the unknown,
she was able to fully educate herself on hysterectomies and what to expect when
it was over. Here’s what she told us:
“It started with bleeding. I had terrible periods every month and they kept
getting worse. When I talked to my gynecologist, he wanted to do an ultrasound.
He found a tumor on my right ovary. When he sent it for testing, they determined
it was borderline cancerous. This is when I decided to have a hysterectomy.
“The good thing was that I was able to do some research on hysterectomies
before I went in. I found the Women to Women website before seeing the doctor, and
I knew I wanted to go back to it and read more. I read all the stories on your site
that had to do with hysterectomies. So I knew going into my hysterectomy that I
was going to start the Personal Program when I came home.
“The Personal Program made a huge difference in my recovery! It was really
great while I was still at home, but when I went back to work, I wasn’t as
good about taking the Essential Nutrients and started feeling fuzziness in my brain,
moodiness, fatigue, and my cravings for sugar were really strong. I have a bad sweet
tooth anyway!
“I decided it was time to be more serious about the Personal Program. So I
went back on it, and not only do I take the Essential Nutrients every day, but I’ve
changed the way I eat as well. Your Nutritional Guidelines helped me transform my
eating habits and I’ve lost ten pounds in one month! I know I have a lot more
to lose, but this is a start anyway. I’ve also noticed that I’m not
as tired anymore. I have more energy. I’m sleeping better and can definitely
concentrate better.
“It’s interesting, if I miss a couple of days of the Essential Nutrients,
my body tells me. I get tired and start to lose my concentration. Some of my friends
think it’s crazy to spend money on supplements, but it’s your health
we’re talking about!”
