Hi.

Home and recovering really well and the best news is I got the all clear today!! There was a small part of the tumour remaining in the cervix , that was removed along with everything else , the margins were really good and no spread to lymph nodes which were also taken out. Good result. So relieved x what a rollercoaster xx

Hi Workingmum, that's fantastic! Very very chuffed for you. The best result you could have hoped for. Just need to concentrate on relaxation and treating yourself now!!!  X

Thank you so much for all your words and help , it meant so so much at such a difficult time. Xx

Not at all. Just wished I had found this site earlier than I did! All the very very best to you in your recovery x 

Hi

I'm glad you are recovering well.

I had an abnormal hysterectomy last year for cervical cancer, kept my ovaries and then 6 months later I had a reoccurrence to them and had those taken out too. Woke up and was on a very low dose of HRT

I'm 44, I would highly recommend when you are feeling a bit better seeing a private menapause doctor. I discovered my HRT dose was way too low for bone health. Even if you decide not to go down the HRT route its good to be informed and make the choice yourself.

Good luck

Hi there. I have to have a radical hysterectomy unfortunately ..just wondering if you could telle if you had all your pelvic nodes removed or if they did a sentinel node biopsy ? Did you have keyhole or open surgery? Your input is much appreciated ...

Hi there ..may I ask how large your initial tumor was? I'm having a a radical hysterectomy and wondering what my chances are of recurrence . Did you have Laparoscopic or open surgery ?? Sentinel node biopsy or all pelvic nodes removed ? Your input is much appreciated...

Hi SandiRose

how are you doing!  Sorry to hear about your surgery. Is it for cervical or endometrial?

I had 15 nodes removed. 5 on each side and 5 on my abdomen. My surgery was laparoscopic so was literally only in hospital 1.5 days. Please let me know if you need any further information. Good luck x

It was just under 4cm. I had open surgery and all my lymph nodes removed. My surgeon wouldn't operate lapascopic due to the greater chance of reoccurrence.

I have adenocarcinoma cancer which there is a greater chance of reoccurrence. Its a lot to think about isn't it?
