Endometrial cancer

Has anyone had an abdominal hysterectomy?

mine tomorrow. Very nervous

  • Hi,

    Of course your anxious but you will be fine! 

    Still waiting for mine! but I do know of people  who have had it and its an operation that has bern done many times

    With a high sucess rate ..as long as you follow the after care and stay positive you will recover well

    I believe  you will be healed very soon.

    Ive been recently diagnosed  with Endonetrial Cancer grade2 stage1b

    Was due to have a hysterectomy  but has been cancelled  due to COVID

    I am very anxious  due to the wait( but not the op) as they need to check my lymph nodes for  further spread

    Think of you and trust all will go perfectly as your a special soul

  • Same as mine. I'm in Guys as we speak. Had the op yesterday and I feel good. 
    No menopause symptoms yet either but I'm 52.

    I was given a spinal block but I told them I don't want numb legs or feet when I wake up!

    so I had a mild one . My legs etc were normal when I awoke and I had no pain.  Good luck.

    You're right it's a common op.

    you're probably having an abdominal hysterectomy too. 
    I haven't got up yet. I have sleeves on my legs attached to machine for preventing clots etc.

    I had lymph nodes out too.

    radiotherapy too at some point

    good luck xxx

  • Yes I did have to wait. My biopsy was cancelled in April when they would have discovered it. So my new date was early November so I have had to wait. Apparently it's a slow growing cancer so maybe that's why plus Covid. I've been for a walk today and climbed the stairs. Eating today too I was sick yesterday. Don't worry you will be fine. My advice is stay active if you can before surgery. I walk a lot with the ramblers etc and it's really helping my recovery. I didn't really eat healthy before my op but if you can then do it. It really helps xx

  • Hello Ruby

     

    How are you doing?

     

    my mum is also receiving chemo because she has had a recurrence of endometrial cancer in her lymph nodes

     

    sending you lots of love and best wishes xxx ️ ️ ️ X

  • Oh sorry to hear that xx

    i didn't have chemo in the end. 
    I also have breast cancer so I'm having radiotherapy for both and I've started hormone treatment too.

    I finish radiotherapy next week.

    My treatment plan changed when my breast cancer was diagnosed. I've been treated for 2 cancers. 
    Do you know what grade your mums cancer is?

    I've had 2 surgeries then 2 lots of radiotherapy but I'm doing well.

     

    Please message me anytime.

    I will be thinking of your Mum , it's amazing what they can do these days. Cancer treatment has really come on leaps and bounds.xx

  • Dearest Ruby 

     

    Many many thanks for coming back to me 

     

    For some odd reason I didn't see your reply. So, apologies for responding sooner xx

     

    how are you feeling? I'm glad treatment is going well and long may it continue ️ ️ ️
     

    mums had 5 rounds of chemo   1 more round to go.... her first scan is showing positive results   Her next scan is next month after the 6th chemo session and we desperately hoping the nasty cells have been banished

    i think mum is stage 3c grade 1

     

    Hope you well and the radiotherapy and hormone treatment has killed the little buggers!

     

    sending you tons of best wishes and love ️ ️ ️ ️ Xxxx
