Hi Anastasia,

I too was terrified before my surgery as I’d never had any done previously but all the nurses and doctors were very reassuring and helped calm my nerves.

I had a huge tumour too, I looked like I was nine months pregnant! I had that removed, a smaller one on my right ovary, a full hysterectomy, appendix and sample of lots of other things. Stayed in hospital for a week.

it wasn’t until after that they officially said it was stage 3 but I’d had high CA bloods throughout so as yours are normal try not to worry about what it may or may not be until you know for sure then the oncology team can make a plan with you for going forward.

Best wishes x
