Hi to anyone feeling anxious about their surgery. I just wanted to put your mind at rest with the following:
I had a full hysterectomy plus pelvic nodes removed at Singleton hospital 11 days ago following a diagnosis of Grade 3C endometrial cancer and it wasn’t half as bad as I expected it to be and the medical staff, food, bed, ward were absolutely fab. I was back home again within 24 hours. The only painkillers needed when home were paracetamol and the discomfort isn’t too bad at all considering this was a major op. I try resting when I need to and have some family help but preparation is key, so make sure you stock up with ready meals in your freezer etc
as I’m so glad that I did. I have some nerve damage to my left thigh (numb with intermittent pins and needles) but hopefully that will improve in time. I have to self inject for 14 days to avoid DVT but the thought is worse than the actual doing, which takes seconds. Anyway, try not to worry and I hope the above helps
