Hysterectomy on my Birthday

Hi CJ86.  I'm sorry that the timing of all these procedures is a bit naff and I cannot even begin to understand how it feels to know you can't have any more children but I do relate to the overwhelmed feeling by everything moving so fast.  Sometimes it seems you don't even get the chance to draw breath!  Once the operation is over though, you will have many more years to celebrate birthdays which will mean even more to you both.  I would see it as a positive that things are moving this quickly as with this awful disease, speed is of the essence.  Everything will work out with your move.  Things just do tend to work out really well when the odds are against it.  Good luck with it all and please let us know how you get on xxx

Hello 

I’m just out of hospital having had a radical hysterectomy last week. I was also staged at 12b. Personally I feel incredibly relieved I was eligible for surgery. It is a tough operation but I’m up and about now and emotionally feel much better equipment to take on any further treatments I may need. Be strong. And feel regretful too - all feelings are fine. If you need any info please ask and bestest of good luck. Deb xx

Thank you. I  feeling much better about everything now and I am incredibly thankful that everything has moved so fast and I get to have surgery so soon.

The pain itself doesn't bother me so much. I had a 4th degree tear after child birth 2 years ago and honestly thought my life as I knew it was over after surgery. 2 years on and you'd never ever know!

I am comforted by the fact that in 3 months time I may  e feeling the same way about this diagnosis and we'll into being my old self again.
