Hello tayna, to answer your question no I did not have to have hysterectomy .I was very lucky and they saved my left ovary. The oncologist has me get ultrasounds every 4 months .We are going to go throught the infertility route. Because of genetic issues that i do not want to pass on, we are going to go to the reprodcuvive genetics institute in chicago. Its a long story .Email me if you want to know more.Thanks kara
