4 weeks Post Op today Laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy

Well I am feeling medically fab from week 1 when I was in so much pain and  feeling like I was rolling on barbed wire to week 4 and stitches mostly gone and no pain externally at the wounds...today is a day I have waited for, the last blood thinner injection my thighs and me have had enough poor hubby is quite traumatised giving them to me so he is even more relieved.

Inside isn't painful but by the end of the day I do feel a bit tender but its less and less, I have had no blood loss or discharge at all since the Op as well so I can only think that's to come or I have been incredibly lucky.

I spoke with the Surgeon last week and he confirmed the cancer had not spread outside the womb which was fantastic news , today my lovely Cancer Nurse phoned me for a check in on how I was feeling after the call and she has told me that the Radiotherapy the surgeon discussed was Brachytherapy and this would be 3 sessions possibly done over 1 week... the best outcome regarding adjuvant treatment for me as with it being a grade 3 tumor I was worried about more than that but there was no spread to the Lymph nodes.- Update I have been downgraded to a Grade 2 ..never been as happy for a downgrade.!

So other than another menopause to negotiate , really bad night sweats, and weary /teary I am all good and feel I can start to get my head around being Cancer free... I will never forget the last 4 months they have been the worst time in my life and I have learnt such a lot about myself , about Cancer, about how amazing my family and friend's have been and mostly how amazing this group and everyone on it has been ..

I will update on the Brachytherapy and how it was /goes for me it may hopefully help someone in the future and the same for my Lynch syndrome and Genealogy clinic appointment which is in August 

Dec 24 To March 25 I cannot fault my GP, the team I have at Liverpool Women's, My Macmillan nurse and this group and wherever each of us is on our journey its comforting to know that any questions , concerns, worries and good news can be shared here and for anyone at the start of their Journey it is scary but you are not alone, try not to use Dr Google or you will disappear down a rabbit hole of information that may not be relevant .
