Dear lovely ladies,
I must apologise that I haven't been on here for a while. My wife, Pauline, had a full hysterectomy in March and then did 3 sessions of brachytherapy as a belt and braces approach.
P had a laparoscopic operation which was very successful - they found loads of endometrial scars from when she had endometriosis in her younger years. She is amazing in how she coped with the monthly pain - it was absolutely horrendous for her - and now we know why.
We are now three weeks post-brachytherapy and touch wood, the only symptom P has experienced is tiredness. She is a very active, outdoorsy person, so she is struggling with being so tired. I have to remind her (frequently) that she's just been through a major operation and then brachytherapy!
Thank you to those of you who offered words of comfort, words of advice and humour during what was a very stressful time.
P has her first check-up booked in for August - got everything crossed all is well.
I wish you all totally positive thoughts for your sustained recovery - you are all rock stars in my opinion!
