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
