Newly diagnosed Radical hysterectomy - please help

Radical hysterectomy - please help

Offline Workingmum over 5 years ago

Hello,

I am 44 and due to have a radical hysterectomy tomorrow, I am absolutely petrified!

I had a tumour removed from my cervix 1b3 which showed clear cell cancer.
Ct and mri were both good with no sign of spread.

I am absolutely petrified and also petrified they will find something else even though scans were clear.

They are also taking my ovaries which puts me into surgical menopause but I am thinking nothing can be worse than what I am already going through x

Hi Workingmum
It’s natural to be scared going through surgery, so it’s not surprising you’re feeling worried. But it’s very good news that the scans were clear of spread, and hopefully this will be all the treatment you need now. A radical hysterectomy does remove more than an “ordinary” hysterectomy so the recovery time will likely be longer for you and you’ll need to take things very easy after your surgery. Just think, tomorrow it will all be over! I hope things go well for you, and wish you well with the op and your recovery. x
