Michelle, as a survivor of uterine cancer, I can tell you that you're not alone, and that as panicked as you might feel right now, your fears are probably unfounded. I'm also missing all of those parts, cervix, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and a few lymph nodes. I also have occasional aches or twinges, and wonder if maybe something has developed. So far, nothing.

Human bodies are remarkable things, but they have so many moving parts that you have to take a lot into account. I won't get indelicate here, but I will mention that if you were to run over to Sam's Club and pick up a $10 bottle of their Member's Mark Fiber Capsules and take 5 a day every day, that you might find some of these twinges you're worrying about go away. No matter how many veggies you eat, I think you'll find that as a supplement this makes a difference. It is harmless, it is good for you, and is pro-active. You can ask me how I know this. . . :)

Relax. Don't beat yourself up. Get enough exercise (accountability!) every day, and take some fiber to supplement your diet. See if that doesn't help some of what is bothering you.
