Hi had womb cancer had hysterectomy

Hi Moonlight

I am sorry to hear that you are feeling low after your womb cancer and surgery. 

7 weeks is early days in my opinion. Although the surgery has been done and physically things are healing, emotionally it is all a lot to deal with. I found from diagnosis to treatments everything was busy, appointments, surgery etc- there wasn't time to think. It was only after the treatments had all ended and I felt a bit better- then all the processing could happen. 

Have you spoken to your CNS/doctor about how you are feeling? It is not uncommon to feel low after surgery. Have you got plenty of support around you and people you can talk to? 

Perhaps think about giving the Support Line a call and talking things through with one of the nurses. They are there from 8am-8pm every day.

Hi, Sorry to hear you are feeling low and depressed.  Is there anything in particular that is worrying you?

Its been 9 weeks since I had a hysterectomy to remove the cancer I feel a bit better but still  feel down  but my husband is making me laugh 

Hi, I am glad your husband is bring really supportive.  I am 6 weeks post surgery and my husband and son are the same, making me laugh and keeping me going.  I think the low points and the highs are us just realising what journey we have both been on.  One minute we are at the GP saying something isn’t right then the next minute we are told we have the C word! It is then like we are put on this journey where we are going for more tests, waiting on results then the actual operation.  We are then waiting on more results and hopefully we are then told all is good.  One thing for sure is that me and you will be stronger and more resilient for going through all of this. ️

Hi there sorry to hear yr feeling down. Ive recovering after the same procedure. Im feeling bored as i cant do much and everyones working who i know. Have you any hobbies or family you can speak with?

Hi yes i feel like this now. I was so positive, got very early cancer cells found after full hystercomy, ovaries and cervix biopsy, after wks of drs app been told everything looked ok this was a shock. Id been on a high the last 7wks. Feel like i should be relived all gone and no treatment but my head is trying to process the last few wks. Nice to be intouch with people. Everybody has been so good, nurses etc.

I am the same I was all positive throughout the treatment and like you was last week that everything is okay and I don’t need chemo/radio. My mood has took a dip and I keep crying. Not sure what to think as it all happened so fast.  It is nice to hear that I am not alone on this journey.

Same her. Do you mind asking how old you are, im a fit healthy 56 year old and just wasnt expecting this. Yes just from June all gone so fast, I was even told it wasn't an urgent case but we do have a very good nhs here thank goodness. I feel like this isn't going to go away and always be in th back of my mind. I feel I should feel so lucky. Nice to know im not alone, not that id wish this on anyone.

Yes i agree , things happened so fast. I now await the outcome of my hysterectomy this week, the surgeon will ring me to explain what was found even though it was a low grade cancer. Im still a bit nervous they could have found something else. The blood thinners are making my stools dark , im unsure if bleeding internaly. Need to ring the nurses tomorrow, see if i can be checked out.

Our brains have overload mode on and just cant shake feelings off. Im keeping busy but not much on today so nice to hear from people. Do you have iron tablets as they can do this to your stools as well. Mine didnt show up on any scans or anything before and didnt hear anything till last wk. Im hopeing thats it for you now and your results are all good. Its the unknown. We have been treated early we are the lucky ones, we should try and think positive just finding it hard atm, thinking and keeping fingers crossed for you.
