I'm home after a hysterectomy. They couldnt save my fertility but I am glad now that they have hopefully removed all the cancer. I get my results of the lymph nodes and margins on Friday and get to have my catheter out!
It was pretty awful surgery (key hole is great in the long run but the short term wind pain if awful). I am not sure how I got through the 1st 24 hrs but I did and I was allowed home after 48 hrs (stubborness). Today - 5 days after surgery - I am finally feeling a bit better. Less pain and discomfort. My mum, dad and husband have been amazing as have all my other friends and family who all think I am making amazing progress. I feel quite positive and more determined than ever to beat this cancer.
Still find it hard to believe its happened to me.

Hi Niccy
Oh the wind!! I had a hysterectomy in February, the pain from surgery was nothing compared to the wind, I empathise!! Make sure you take it easy and you might want to check out this website if you haven't already www.hysterectomy-association.org.uk the forums are full of good tips and you can compare your progress with other people.
