Hey so I’m 2 weeks post keyhole surgery to remove my ovaries and also address some pretty bad adhesions. Recovery isn’t going swimmingly and today after a GP appt penicillin 4 x day for a week! I ao had a really heavy bleed and passed a pretty big clot! Since then the bleed has settled thank goodness! This is my second surgery in 2years. My first was an open abdominal total hysterectomy with
allopian tubes, ovaries left. Diagnosis was stage 1 endometrial cancer. Im just feeling deflated and frustrated almost stepping backwards. I’m awaiting the pathology of the new removed organs and h
ing that they are clear of anything untoward! Trying to keep incisions clean and aired is really tricky especially in the heat! Also the incoming medically induced menopause
Anyway that’s my moan I guess Thankyou for reading!! Xx
That’s fantastic news! So pleased for you ️
Yes, it’s a strange feeling isn’t it? I thought I’d be uber excited but, instead, it was like a quiet calmness washed over me.
I do remember going out for a walk later in the day. It was raining but I just couldn’t help grinning at everyone I met and cheerily commenting, “Lovely day!”
I’m sure they must have been thinking, “Who on Earth let her out by herself?”
It takes a bit to process good news just as it does bad news - I have't had my post surgery results back yet. but the surgeon doesn't expect any more treatment as I was caught so early and it hadn't grown into the muscle. I'm just focused on a good recovery - but I will have to sit down and think about everything to really appreciate how lucky I am.
