I have to have a radical hysterectomy next Tuesday. I know im staying in over night. But what i dont know is what do I do in the following weeks whilst I can't drive??! I have no family that can help im concerned about my mental health. Especially as I have PTSD and thats gone through the roof at the minute?????
Hi Jane
Did Everything go ok with your ENT appointment for your lymph node?
You said before that you are having a robotic hysterectomy, so recovery will be shorter than having an abdominal surgery as it’s less invasive.
You've mentioned a partner before-I hope they’ll be around to support you, and also that your counselling is proving helpful. All the best for your operation next week.
