Never waste a good hysterectomy: The podcast

Following a radical hysterectomy in 2022, Melanie was shocked by how little information was available to women about hysterectomies. She decided to address the information gap she experienced by chronicling her experiences and compiling them into a book, followed shortly thereafter by a podcast of the same name. 

Join Melanie as she chats with specialists and experts, discussing confusing medical terminology, the physical and emotional recovery process, when to seek help, and more.
