Hysterectomy

As anybody else had these problems before surgery

Hi I didn’t have other problems but did have open surgery due to a large fibroid at end of January. You are bound to be anxious but I don’t think my recovery was much longer - although I was in hospital for 2 nights. Only needed paracetamol for a couple of days and was walking up to around 40 minutes after a couple of weeks. Try to focus on the fact it will soon be done and you’ll be recovering. I went for a long walk the day before surgery to get plenty of fresh air.

Thank you so much for youre reply x

Hi Alibongo

Good luck for tomorrow. It is understandable to feel anxious when facing surgery but I found it a lot better than I was worrying about. Try to focus on that the cancer is being removed. Hopefully you will be able to have it done via keyhole but if not, just put your trust in the doctors experience to get the safest and best outcome. 

Hopefully by around this time tomorrow you should be starting your recovery. I stayed in one night and was home the next day. 

If there is anything you want to ask, please do so.
