Thank you Colleen. Yes I’m having surgery at University of Penn in Phila, PA. My cousin is a radiation oncologist there and has helped in navigating doctors for my care. I did view the Mayo Clinic video you provided.. Mobilizing from lying to standing will be done rather quickly. While the surgery is rather extensive my cancer is also effecting my urethra so surgery as such is necessary.
Will stay hopeful to make a connection.

Hi,

I was recently informed that I would need pelvic exenteration surgery by my oncologist at the University of Penn in Philadelphia, PA. I am looking to hear from women who have been through this procedure.
