Hi All - An update about my 1st Oncology appointment. I had my hysterectomy by robotic surgery 4 weeks ago. I was staged as 1A Grade 3 serous. Although the lymph nodes looked enlarged during the operation no cells were found in any of nodes or other biopsys...
Just thought I'd mark this occasion in some way as my dog wasn't interested ;) It came early and heavy (with only a week's gap after the last) but I'm pretty confident to say I've suffered my last ever period. Ever. My hysterectomy surgery will be two...
Hi everyone I am thankful to be able to say that I have had a keyhole hysterectomy and "all the trimmings" (sounds more festive") and was only in hospital overnight. I am home and feel pretty good but have been supplied with painkillers which is excellent...
