Radical hysterectomy

Hi Stacemarie,

I had a Radical Hysterectomy 5 years ago in May, I was 26 and I know how scared it can seem.

please try not to worry too much the operation is big but the NHS staff are amazing, recovery was around 6 weeks and if you results come very quickly.

i really wish you all the best, be strong and keep positive as you can.

Hi Stacemarie.

I just wondered how you were doing and what you recovery was like? I'm currently in hospital having had my radical hysterectomy on Friday, first day I felt great as was still on pain medication but had to stop it due to it making me feel sick and faint. 

I don't think I'll ever feel 'normal' again 

Thanks 

Hi Besty

Ive just joined this group.   Due PET scan next Tuesday.  I had hysterectomy on 11 May and never imagined I would be thinking of digging the garden at week 7.  I didn’t think I would ever feel normal again but take it slow and steady and you will get there. I followed the physio exercise booklet and slowly built up my walking.  I’m driving again too.   I’ve got this gap before they start the next treatment which I am worried about so I’m really enjoying being normal for a few weeks.

Take Care, you will get there

You are right. Day 11 is a lot easier than Day 4.

Being home has helped a lot and the removal of my catheter.

Good luck for your further treatment. You've got this.
