Hormone replacement therapy not needed

Marta Greenwood

I was in hospital being given a blood transfusion. There and then I vowed to myself that I would be fit and well again one day.

I was not going to die, I wanted to live for our children—see to it that I was there to help my husband in bringing them up. We had wanted children for years—they were only five and seven. And this was the first time they had ever been out of my sight. My husband looked haggard and worried. The children were confused because they weren't used to having all the different people and home helpers looking after them.

And there I was lying in hospital, fighting for my life. I had been there nearly six weeks. At first, I was told I was too weak for an operation. But then the surgeons came in and said they had decided to do an emergency hysterectomy because I had life-threatening complications.
