I went into hospital on 17th August to have my hysterectomy.
I was taken back when the consultant said I would be having a laparotomy I thought it would be bikin cut.
Still the operation went well. Up on day two and progressed well. good pain releaf. All the tubes and drains got on my nervesbut asmall price to pay. Home day 7 following the Multi disiplinary meeting
Told the results of my histology by the MacMillan nurse and it was GOOD news.
I was stage 1B and therefore no sign of disease outside the cervix. 21 lymph nodes taken and all clear.
No further treatment appart from follow ups. I felt so lucky and blessed life has never seemed so sweet.
