Hi.
I just had a polyp removed duing my d&c. The doctor would like me to have the treatment of the iud Merena. My body makes too much estrogen and Merena will help thin my uterine lining. She said I also have hyperplasa which is a pre cancer stage. I am 45 years old.

What would you do if your overbearing cousin told your sick father that sucide if okay to do, if you are not in the right frame of mind?
