Regretting my hysterectomy decision because of health problems I can't handle.

I had my hyterectomy last year when I was 48. It was performed due to the fact my lining was cancerous but in the early stage. I can't take homones therefore. I noticed my anxiety and depression is so bad and also after having blood work done last week my cholesterol is high at 279. I never had high cholesterol before. Am I experiencing all of these problems because of the hyster. I feel like I made a mistake in having the surgery. What am I suppose to do now to gain my life back.

Talk to an oncologist.  I think breast cancer is not uterine cancer.

Thanks, the cancer could spread to the breasts, and since my mom had breast cancer I have a higher incidence in getting it to.

Talk to another doctor.  Get going on the cholesterol right away.  I have a mom with high cholesterol and she still has her uterus, so it isn't always a direct relationship.  I would ask again about the hormones, since if the issue was that the uterine lining had cancer cells, well, you don't have a uterus, so where is the place to develop cancer?
