AFTER 18 months of pain, 21-year-old Ipswich woman Victoria Barber had to come to one of the most difficult decisions of here life.
On Saturday, The Evening Star carried the poignant story of her battle to get doctors at Ipswich Hospital to perform a hysterectomy, the removal of her womb, to release her from her nightmare.
With two young children already, Mrs Barber of Fushcia Lane knows it is the right decision for her if she wants to be able to get on and live a normal life, but doctors don't agree and NICE guidelines state she is too young for such an operation.
We want your reaction and messages of support for the young mum who has made a decision that so many others of her age would deem unthinkable.
Today you can Mrs Barber tell her story in her own words.
