Hello to all in this very helpful group, I received my diagnosis of Womb Cancer in early December 2022.
1 month before my 70th. Birthday, to say I was shocked is an understatement.I was feeling well within myself and suddenly I was facing C.T scan, and decisions on treatment ahead.The CT scan proved to be a good result and was advised that the Cancer was contained,
So my treatment would be Hysterectomy and further procedure may be required such as radiotherapy
I had my hysterectomy on the 14/2/23 and discharged on the 16/2/23, I am trying to keep to walking programme of 5 to ten minutes each day as well as walking as much as possible within my home,I am also trying to eat a balanced healthy diet, to help with my recovery.
I am happy to report that the pain has been minimal and well controlled, the only major pain for me was on Monday 27/2 and Tues 28/2/ I was unable to sleep due to extreme pain in my left shoulder and left upper back, I couldn’t lie on left side, just wondering if anyone within the group can identify with this kind of pain 2 weeks after surgery. Has settled down a bit now. GP prescribed pain relief which has helped.It just came as a bit of a shock to my body as I had fortunately not experienced pain immediately after my surgery. I now await my pathology results, which I was advised should be within 3 to 4 weeks from surgery. Thank you for allowing me to share this part of my journey.
