Post Op Check

Hi, so at my first one post op at 3 weeks he didn’t examine me at all just confirmed my staging and grading of the cancer and said it had all gone well and did I have any questions. 
I see the CNS in 3 months I’m not sure if they will examine then . 

Good luck 

Hi KeswickC

I hope that you are recovering ok.

My post op check was combined with my chemo consents appointment. 

It was all talking apart from a quick look at my wounds on my tummy to check they were healed. There was no other examination. 

Good idea to take a list- I am the same. 

I would expect today to be a quick chat about how you are recovering, confirming stage and grade and any post op information and talking about what happens next. If you need further treatment it will go into detail about this. If you don't then I would expect it to be about what check ups you need and when. 

I had no physical checks until my end of treatment check up that was after radiotherapy finished. 

There can sometimes be some variation between hospitals.

Good Luck

Jane

At my post check, no physical checks at all, I expected them to at least check my long wound was OK.  Just got told you look good, and no changes re my pre op staging and post op, and by the way we have arranged appt with oncologist immediately afterwards. 

At my post op keyhole surgery appointment , the consultant checked the external stitching site then then checked vagina stitching site . Told me they were OK. Then said 10 external radiation treatments planned , ( that was wrong as it was 25 when I saw the oncologist a week later) . Currently ok just got an appointment with oncologist in 2 weeks .

I’m being treated in Canada, so things differ from the UK.  I had a quick internal exam when I saw the oncologist to discuss chemo.  Her Physician Assistant did a quick internal exam and checked the 5 small incisions from the robotic surgery.  All was healing well.   At that time, I told her I did not want radiotherapy and we discussed a clinical trial instead.  Unfortunately funding was pulled from that clinical trial for new people who did not do radiotherapy.  I am now in the midst of radiotherapy for serous carcinoma.
