Some ideas in here as aspects I hadn't considered, even after all the research and reading I've done. It's a good overview of what to expect, things to do while healing and the importance of taking care of yourself. It's a quick read, and I'm glad I bought it.

The book has a very breezy take onto something that can be quite traumatic to the body and the psyche. If you don't take your operation too seriously, this is the book for you. But if you have cancer or some other serious illness I would not consider it very comforting, just a mere hint of what is to come.

This book I purchased on my Kindle about 1 week prior to my hysterectomy that I am now 20 days post op. Very helpful to read certain subjects ahead of time and surely helpful (when not sleeping) to refer to now. I like this book...some may not find as helpful as I did. I am grateful to have in my library.

I stuck to mostly the post-hysterectomy sections since that’s where I’m at. I felt like the advice was pretty good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good little book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 21, 2016

Good little book. Every woman is individual so some hints filled me with horror, such as using your tampons etc as bbq lighters in some ritual burning. Definitely not my cup of tea but lots of relevant stuff about recovery, preparation etc. I am very practical and just want to get it done, get over it and get back on with life, so the more matter of fact stuff was for me. Other women will probably enjoy the more nurturing, spiritual, pampering stuff, so it is just a matter of picking out the hints that suit you! I won't be having a party to dip my old tampons and use as decorations, nor will I be having a new haircut and nightie, not my way. But I will be trying the arnica tips and herbal remedies, plus all the recovery stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars I cannot recommend this book highly enough
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 8, 2014

I cannot recommend this book highly enough...I had to have a hysterectomy due to cancer, only had a month to prepare and was so scared. This little book put my mind at rest because I was able to get prepared and warn everyone around me of what was coming. I also liked that it linked into a website that offered support and encouragement...I didn't post in the forums, but was able to read about other people's experiences and how they prepared beforehand, which was hugely helpful and a very positive experience. A friend gave me an extra copy (not realising that I had bought one for myself), so I was able to give my spare copy to a nurse friend, who loved it also. If you are facing a hysterectomy, but a copy, you won't regret it!
