    I am so grateful for finding HERSFoundation and for Nora and Rick to publish the H Word Book. I have several copies and also donated the book to the local libraries. This is something all of you can do. Get the book into your libraries! Tiger

    Jeanne, I think we all know why this is being done to women-for the money. Why else would a OBGYN give a surgery that wasn't necessary. Around 98% are not necessary. I ordered 12 books and have only one left, so I will be ordering more because I want every girl and woman in my family to have The H Word Book so they are aware what will happen if they have this damaging and dangerous surgery with many consequences and after-effects. I hope the doctors are getting the message that we are not going to be abused anymore! Can you imagine what would happen if this many men were being castrated every year?

    Thank you to the brave women and men who have posted here. It is not easy to display your feelings that are so personal for everyone to read. This is a must read book to get the word out that the majority of hysterectomies are unnecessary and when given one, how it destroys your life, your career, your marriage, your sexual feelings, your health and your zest for life. It was a pleasure to send my doctor the 'H' book along with a letter telling him how he has destroyed everything about me. I have been wanting to do that for 20 years. I am sure he didn't add it to his book collection, but his name is listed who received the book.

    READ THE 'H' BOOK. I could not put the book down until I had read it all. I ordered 12 books; one for the doctor who hysterectomized and castrated me along with a letter telling him how he has destroyed my life; a couple for the local libraries and the rest for family members. 20 years ago I was castrated for a pea-sized fibroid. I was told I could get cancer or that I could die. I believed him. I was never told about any alternative surgeries or the consequences and after-effects of this surgery. I was told everything would be great or better and that it wouldn't change my sex life. ALL WERE LIES! Why would doctors do this to a woman and her family? Why? Money is the only reason I come up with. You are told it is all in you head and then you go from doctor to doctor trying to find answers as to why you are feeling so terrible. My advice is to STOP giving the clinics and doctors more money and STOP going to an OBGYN for check-ups. Their job are giving surgeries. Once they remove your ovaries, uterus and cervix your life will change forever. Not only do doctors take your health, but your marriage, sexual feelings, career, dreams and zest for life. That is why it is so important you give this book to as many women as you can so they can spread the word about the damages this surgery does to a woman's life and her family. I challenge all the women reading this to order 12 'H' Books. Thank you HERS Foundation, Nora Noffey and Rick Schweikert for the 'H' book. It is like reading your life in words.
