Hi everyone, 

New joiner here. Some questions if you don’t mind?

I had my hysterectomy (total+ovaries) two weeks ago abdominally at Ipswich hospital. Endometrial cancer stage1 type 2 was the initial diagnosis. I was wondering how long histology results take to come through?

I haven’t been advised of any follow up appointments or what happens now, can anyone tell me your experiences.

Timescales? How long before I know if further treatment will be needed? Will I be monitored for some time?

I feel like I am a bit in the dark, maybe I should have asked more questions, but at the time I was just concentrating on getting through things.

  • Sorry to hear this this must be so frustrating for you.

    I expect they will have seen reactions like this before and will know what to suggest next - but no doubt stressful for you while you are waiting. 

    Sending a big hug to you sister Hugging
