Hi everyone,
Sorry for the delay in letting you all know how the op went.
So I went in on 6th May for the salvage hysterectomy, the team was absolutely amazing couldn't of asked for anything better.
I went down about 8.30am and I remember looking at the clock at about 1.15pm, and I think I was chatting to the nurses. I then remembered arriving on the ward just after 2pm and asking for my husband who arrived just after.
I actually didn't feel too bad, I managed to have something to eat at around 5.30 and got into.my own nightie that evening.
The surgeon and Anesthetist came to see me before they clocked off which was really nice. She said it all went well my bladder was fused but she managed to separate safely. I went home on the 8th as they said I was doing really well. Got the pain button took off, it's really strange as I've had no pain I don't understand it myself I thought I'd be doubled up. Got the catheter taken out a week after operation.
I'm at home now recovering well, just got to wait for the results now, but I'm not thinking about it until I go.
Thank you to all of you for your support
Hi Sodo7985
So glad to hear from you-I was wondering how you’d got on, and glad to hear everything went well with your surgery. It’s good you were doing well enough to get home so quickly-nothing better than your own bed!
Just concentrate now on your recovery and taking things very easy as you regain your strength. Let us know how you’re getting on when you can, and I hope you don’t have to wait too long for your results.

I hope you can come to terms with this in time. I’m always sad to read of women using words like “dirty” because of the association with hpv, but having this cancer is not anyone’s fault, regardless of how many partners they’ve had. But I get it-I felt ashamed and unwilling to discuss it when I was diagnosed and got some comments which made me feel bad about it all. We were just unlucky, so I try to think about it like that now.
