00:00Nicole recently underwent a PET scan where the results, thankfully, showed her cancer had not spread.
00:05However, the doctor recommended Nicole undergo a hysterectomy to avoid the possibility of its return.
00:11No, we're not putting off any more appointments.
00:12I will call you myself.
00:13They're already yelling at me to schedule the hysterectomy, which I did.
00:17I'm traveling.
00:18I know, but this is your life.
00:20No, I know.
00:20You are the mom of three beautiful children who adore you.
00:23Well, I'm not going to lie. I'm scared.
00:25I know, and I understand that.
00:27But you know what's going to be more scary? If you don't do it.
00:30It escalates.
00:31If you get this hysterectomy, do the doctors feel like you will be way ahead of the curve?
00:37Yes.
00:37How do you feel about the idea of getting a hysterectomy? You're a very young woman.
00:41I hate it.
00:42When he first said, we have to do this or it's going to escalate to stage two, I know I'm
00:46done with kids.
00:47Just knowing that you can't, I don't know, it made me feel like I'm not a mom or, I don't
00:53know, a lot of emotions went into my head.
00:54You mourn the loss of your ability to have more children.
