Welcome to this wonderful group who helped me such a lot when I was diagnosed in November 2019 and had a hysterectomy on the 30th December. Stage 1a with no further treatment.

I remember feeling so terrified after diagnosis...we all do understand your feelings so well. I am really sorry you find yourself in this situation but I hope we can be of some help to you (everyone here is so lovely!) My own experience was very positive (under the circumstances) and recovery has been good but I still get a bit tired . I feel I’m still recovering and I will need to have regular 3 monthly checks for five years. I still feel the emotional side quite exhausting in itself. But you will get through this and come through knowing that there’s strength in vulnerability and courage in going through such a life changing experience!

Always ask on here if you’re unsure of anything as no doubt at least one of us will be able to help or share our experiences with you. You’re not on your own x

Hi I have just replied on the other post on this same subject with my experiences of LVSI and treatment, hopefully it will help you. I had never heard of it before I was told I had it following surgery and hadn't found this forum unfortunately until I was just about to begin radiotherapy.

Sending hugs,

Lesley xx
