Hi everyone. Im Sharon and I'd like to introduce myself. I've been lurking and reading all your messages on here since my diagnosis in March. I didn't feel confident to post until now but want to thank everyone - you don't know how much it helps just to read your stories.
I had surgery on Thursday for predicted 1a womb cancer. I just wanted to add some reassurance for anyone who has a high BMI. My BMI is high and I also have a colostomy and large hernia, and had loads of pre op surgery adhesions. My excellent surgeon managed to clear the adhesions and carry out the hysterectomy via robotic surgery. I'm leaving hospital today in minimal pain. Obviously awaiting histology but fingers and toes crossed.
I just wanted to join now and become part of this lovely community and hope my story helps others with additional surgical complications.xx
Hi Sharon
Welcome to the group.
I am glad that your surgery went ok and that you are able to go home today.
If there is anything you need, you know where we are.
Wishing you well with your recovery.

Hi Sharon, welcome to the group and well done for having had your op. I had my hysterectomy for predicted stage 1a in Jan 2022. I hope you’re sleeping okay and hopefully maybe also managing to have some short gentle walks in the daytime as it wil, help you recover. Feel free to ask any questions!
Thank you so much
Yes I've been pottering. Only issue I seem to have is pain in bladder area, not sure if it expected pain after op or not. Don't think I have an infection as no symptoms. Did have a problem with a blocked catheter after surgery so maybe just from that and still healing.
Happy Sunday everyone x
Hi DHT240. Welcome to the group, and I hope you hear back with your predicted grade and stage soon. I was very lucky and got mine 3 days later as the results just happened to be back in time for the MDT that Friday. Do you know on which day of the week your MDT meets?
