Hi there, hope the day’s treating you well enough. My diagnosis has been confirmed today as gynaecological and the treatment is a full hysterectomy with chemo to be considered after surgery. I was going down the ‘unknown’ cancer route so some certainty is a relief.
I just wonder if anyone has experienced a full hysterectomy what advice they might give in relation to managing afterwards, potential for being plunged straight into menopause, scarring and overall recovery. I’m 51 and fit enough. I already have the mirena coil for heavy periods. I currently have a pain on one side of my back to my hip and I’m hoping this improves after surgery if it’s successful.
