So I'm back again- had surgery in Jan 25, 6 months of chemo and immunotherapy, then I've been on 4 weekly iv immunotherapy plus targeted pills twice daily.

So having spent the greater part of the last year and a half recovering I know have to have major hernia repair from the operation site. Seen to surgeons who both agree that they will need to open up my 14" scar and do some magic to repair it. Meanwhile I'm trying to convince myself that it won't be so bad again - haha - at least I won't need chemo 4 weeks after this surgery.

Wish me luck - i think my family are getting fed up hearing me talk and worry about it!

Hello, Cup half full. My sympathies for your situation. I was also left with a hernia post op, though from the second time they opened me up as the internal sutures had failed, probably as the result of pre op undrained ascites weakening my insides. I'm just coming to the end of my 6 scheduled chemo sessions for Stage 4b Grade 3 Serous Endometrial cancer and unrelated additional primary ovarian cancer, but no current discussions re the hernia. It's not always comfortable but nowhere near as bad as it was when I first came home after a month in hospital. Good luck with getting yours sorted out, hopefully with minimal pain or any other issues
