Hi sadiemarie65

Sorry to hear you have had to have a hysterectomy to remove cancer. How are you feeling?  I'm two years post op. Rested a lot in the first couple of weeks, although managed to go out for 5 minute walks building up to longer walks by end of week 2/3.  the advice is to rest as much as you can and avoid any cleaning, bending, lifting (even lifting a full kettle is not to be advised!!!!). Generally they say it takes approx 6 weeks to get back to normal (laparoscopic) or up to 12 weeks (abdominal).  It's unlikely you will need any further treatment for Stage 1, so fingers crossed you just need to rest up and listen to your body.  Do you have people around you to help with household stuff, cooking, cleaning etc? If so , take them up on the offer of help. By resting more at the beginning, your recovery should get a kick start so plenty of rest and eat well.  I'm happy to answer any  further questions. Good luck with your recovery x

Hi 

Thank you for yr reply , yes I had a radical hysterectomy with a cut .

it was stage 1 so no further surgery thank goodness ! 
I am now on week 5 and my stomach is still very bloated and so sore inside , is this normal ? It doesn't feel it , I was told I could go back to work after 6 weeks ? I don't feel ready at all . The care I had in hospital was second to  none but feel like this part had been hard with no one to talk to  . 
I am lucky to have my mum here helping me too
