Had radical hysterectomy 11 days ago. My follow up is in 11 days from now. The oncologist that performed the surgery already tood me I would need chemo and radiation so that is what it is.
Hello Nit.Thu57
I understand this as the large volume of disease into the left parametrium (The parametrium (called cervical stroma in some texts) lies in front of the cervix and extends laterally between the layers of the broad ligaments) has not spread or invaded the cervix or vagina.
But I am not a medical professional so I would ask a nurse by calling the number below bottom on this page and they hopefully will go through the report with you to help understand. Take care xx
Hello Nit.Thu57
I hope that you are recovering well from your surgery.
It does sound confusing to a non medical person. Are you able to contact your CNS and ask for it to be explained? Or perhaps give the Support Line a call tomorrow and speak to one of the nurses. They should be able to help explain it.
