ive recently been diagnosed with womb cancer I’ve never felt so scared in all my life !!!! I’m due to have an hysterectomy on the 30th December. It will be great to join the group for support & advise.
I was tied up with Grand daughter off school with shingles yesterday, so just catching up!!
Arla has given a very good account of what will happen. I'll add take a dressing gown. I had to walk miles down public corridors in a hospital gown that had lost its ties at the back! When I was last in hospital you were wheeled there, but not now.
The other thing is bowels. My husband had a bad experience after an operation leaving it 5 days before he moved them. He was told never to go more than 3 days, so on Day 2 I took some Movicol. My daughter advised it. It was very gentle and softens the stools. The hospital supplied me with Senecot,but I know from past experience that gives me dreadful pains. I was fine without anything after the first time.
I was kept in for two days after keyhole surgery because my bladder wouldn't empty. I could not feel a thing and think I was badly bruised. It gradually righted itself. The whole experience was not as bad as I had feared. All the best xxxx
