Hello LollyMc, 

A warm welcome to Cancer Chat. I am sorry to hear you are feeling tearful and exhausted following your radical hysterectomy. Don't beat yourself up about that your body has been through a lot and it is normal to need time to recover fully both physically and emotionally after a procedure like this. It's great news that the lymph nodes are clear and it must indeed be a huge relief for you. 

Take the time you need to recover and talk to your GP if you are feeling really down it may help to get their advice on how to feel better emotionally. Our nurses are also only a free phone call away so don't hesitate to give them a ring on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and they will be happy to answer questions you may have. 

I hope you will hear from some of our other ladies here who have had this operation before and that they will be along shortly to share their experience with you. 

Wishing you a full and speedy recovery and that you feel better soon!

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
