  • Hi Babs1,

    My name is Angela and I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer stage 2 in March. I'm now waiting for dates for my pre op and surgery which they have told me is going to be robotic keyhole full hysterectomy.

    Is this the surgery you had, and how have you been since.

    I'm worried more about how I'm going to be post op, I'm a very independent person, and I was wondering how much I might be inpacted by the surgery.

    I have the full support of my loving husband and friends and family around me,  but hate asking for help, it's usually the other way round,  I'm the one helping others.

    Any help would be much appreciated thank you so much xx

    Regards, Angela.

  • Hi Angela. I finished radio therapy in March. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.. Mainly I felt really tired .If you have a supportive family allow them to help. You may need to rest more. The hardest part for me was waiting for my review. To find out if it had done the job which luckily it had. Good luck and hope all goes well for you. Tell your family how you are feeling it helps a lot.
