I am new to this forum and new to cervical cancer. I had a hysterectomy 2 weeks ago and I am waiting to hear if I need chemoradiation. It’s been very daunting and it has taken me some time to accept.

I have just had my hysterectomy. It is scary, but you will be ok.
The worst part is waiting. I nearly went out if my mind. Christmas and covid in the news every day was not a good combination.

It’s normal to be scared. You will be in good hands. Which hospital are you having it done ?

My recovery is ok. I’m very tired and sleep alot. I don’t have pain. It’s just a bit if discomfort. I had the robotic surgery.

I think every procedure is different and will be right for you.
Just trust in your team. You will be ok. It isn’t easy, but we are in the best hands.

Hi,

I had my hysterectomy at QE. Ward 21. Such amazing staff. I also had liver lesions picked up in my scans and had to have another mri after hysterectomy. It showed liver hemangiomas. Wishing you all the best but you will be in such safe hands at the QE.
