Thank you for adding me to the group. I had a hysterectomy (keyhole surgery) weeks ago and have now been referred for radiotherapy. I am a little bit shocked as I thought it was all done now. I feel a bit deflated ….
Hi Boldemee
Welcome to the Womb group.
I am sorry to hear that you have been referred for radiotherapy unexpectedly.
My cancer was in 2022 and my post op results revealed I needed further treatment and I was not expecting it either.
I can understand that you are feeling a bit deflated and I felt the same- it was as if the goal posts had been moved.
Once I actually seen the radiotherapy consultant and knew what was going to happen and when I felt a bit better. I am not sure which radiotherapy you have been referred for but mine was 25 sessions of external beam radiotherapy. Once I had seen the consultant and had the planning appointment then from memory it was around 3 weeks until the treatment started.
If there is anything you want to ask about, please do so. There are many ladies on here who have had radiotherapy and will want to offer you support. Any new treatment can feel daunting but we are here if you need us.
