@kkathysan It is amazing that a surgery as involved as a hysterectomy can be done in one day? It won't be in my lifetime (I'm just a year older than you at age 72) but I maybe drive-thru surgery is on the horizon?

I've tried over the years to eat a healthy diet. I certainly became more serious about it after I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer in 2019 and met with a nutritionist who specialized in cancer. It's difficult, isn't it, to be that strict with yourself on a daily basis? Recently a nutritionist who works with my Integrative Medicine doctor told me that if I can stay about 80-90% compliant with my health diet then I'm doing well. If I decide to eat a little piece of cake or a scoop of ice cream then I can add something healthy along with it such as a handful of nuts.

It's possible that your prior diet or health challenges contributed to the development of cancer. I've thought the same but honestly my risk factors were few. Maybe there is a genetic component that has not yet been identified? I have to tell myself that at this point in my life there is nothing I can do to change that past. I can be goal-oriented for the future which is exactly what you are doing.

Please keep me posted on your surgery. I'm hoping that you too will recover as quickly as most everyone here has shared. Has a date been set for the surgery?
