After cancer

Hi just would like to ask I was diagnosed with stage 1a uterus cancer was grade 3 but after having my hysterectomy 6 weeks ago have been told no more treatment which is good news but don't know why I still feel low and bit depressed I am still recovering from my surgery my incisions are infected not been out much only GP is this normal

  • Hi there ..

    Sorry you've been through so much ...  and as someone who got an infected scar ..  please keep an eye on it .. hope your on strong anti biotics.... keep a look out it doesn't feel really hot ... if worried get it looked at strait away .. as I had to have mine drained twice ...

    That could be why your feeling really emotional too ... but sounds like good news ... and I'm sure they will keep an eye on you ... if still unsure , write your questions down and call your oncology team .. I did a couple of times and they'd ring me back at end of day ... and found their help really good ...

    Let us know how you go .. but be kind to your self, you've been through a trauma ... you will emotional ... say to yourself ... that's o.k to do that ...  Chrissie xx
