I had mine almost 14 years ago, I had cancer. Due to a softball size fibroid tumor I also had I had to have a ole fashioned cut from hip to hip basically, it gave my doctor the ability to get a good look at
everything and take many biopsies

Post op ? I was in the hospital 3 days, went home and just followed the restrictions of very limited lifting etc , I slept with lots of pillows to support everything. My mom had planned to stay for a week , wasn't necessary . I made dinner second night home . I do have a high tolerance to pain.

One bit of advice my Doctor gave me was stand straight up as soon as your up walking after surgery which for me was 4 hours (by choice) I refused to hunch over , best advice he gave me.

If you haven't found the web site " hystersisters" go there fabulous support and I made many friends there that we still keep in touch.

I hope your surgery goes smoothly and will take care of any cancer ❤️
