Today I had my surgery. Full hysterectomy at Prince Charles Merthyr and just to report to anyone waiting and nervous I have had the most wonderful care and the team here have been just fantastic. I had previously felt nervous about the whole process to come but once I arrived I felt fairly calm and relaxed and ready to get this done. The anaesthetic was so quick and painless, I was asleep before I even realised. On waking up I was already on the ward and as yet have not needed any pain relief as I just don’t have any pain! I’m staying in overnight and planning on going home tomorrow. To anyone slightly apprehensive about your surgery to come I hope this helps you to feel a little less anxious.l realise sometimes that it’s not always the same for everyone but I think that health care and surgery procedures have moved on so much it’s just incredible what can be done.
Hi Dormouse
Am glad that it all went well. Hope you are able to go home today.
Always good to get home after being in hospital.
I wish you well with your recovery and if there is anything you need, then you know where we are.

Hi Cherryripe
Welcome to the Womb group.
I am sorry to hear that you have had a diagnosis of womb cancer. I can understand that it must feel scary having already lost close family members.
Womb cancer, where caught at an early stage is usually a very treatable type of cancer. My surgery was in 2022 and I am doing ok.

Having a diagnosis can feel a scary time so please do give the Support Line a call if you feel chatting things through would help.
I hope that you surgery date comes through quickly but in the meantime if there is anything you need or want to ask about, please do so.
Jane
