Hi, Im a new member here having had a totally unexpected radical hysterectomy on 29th May 09, caused by multiple large ovarian cysts and endo. This is complicated by a DVT which was also discovered on my ultrasound and for which I am now taking warfarin.
I have to say that the posts here have me a little scared, they do appear to be all about problems after the surgery. 2.3 weeks after surgery (Laparotomy...complete abdominal opening, 47 staples), I am feeling good. I have a bit of pain if I move too quickly or stand for more than a minute or 2. I am doing my best to take things very easily and I am bored stupid being stuck in the house. I am no longer taking any pain meds. My insides feel a bit strange when I move about in bed or something but I try to find a comfy position and stay there!! I really, really hope I get none of the complications or additional pain that most of you seem to suffer with. I also hope the results of my biopsy on Monday week, dont show anything else nasty. That really would be devastating. Cheers Abfab x Posted on 06/14/09, 05:06 am |

my prayers go out to you. I had a total abdominal hysterectomy and that was painful enough. I hope your biopsy comes back good. My gyn didnt find any endo during my lap. It wasnt till biopsy that I have endo and Im still fighting it. I hope they got rid of all yours. xxx Staci

Unfortunately, my biopsy results are back...I have ovarian cancer. I am going to see the consultant on Friday and I will know more then. They (as in clinical nurse specialist) has said it isnt a total disaster, ie stage 1 or 2 but they cant confirm until more results come back.
Fingers crossed for Friday. As for the hysterectomy, I really havent been having TOO bad a time, hopefully I can remain strong. One thing I have noticed is the left sided pain I see ppl talk about.....strange!!!! xx
