Hi all

Four weeks today since my hysterectomy/ lymph node removal. It’s been up and down recovery wise not to mention a readmission with an infection. Pathology back and I’m stage 1b, Grade 3 so will need further treatment. All set to see the oncologist on 30/8 to find out my plan.
Feeling well aside from a few aches and pains but not requiring any medication for over a week now.
Im doing almost everything again except for lifting/ hoovering and driving so feeling pretty positive about things. Back out walking every day at a decent pace and managing 6-7000 steps per day.

Hi Katl1. Except for your re-admission due to an infection it's good to hear that you're healing well and just a few aches and pains - how's the bruising with the anti-clotting injections? Well done for the 6-7000 steps daily. I did the same kept walking and healed quickly. I managed to get away with not hoovering for ages LOL.

I was also stage 1b, grade 3 with no LVSI and lymph nodes=0. I had 3 sessions of Brachytherapy 6 weeks after op (first day I'd driven - had to go on my own) Sessions Thursday, Tuesday and Thursday. Not painful, just undignified!

Good luck for 30/8 if I'm not back on the forum by then, come back and let us know how your consultation with the Oncologist goes.

Big hugs, Barb x

The bruising is something else but I am very fair skinned and do bruise easily as well. My Gp is satisfied that it is just bruising due to that and nothing else. Last one done yesterday, glad to see the back of it and let the bruising heal
