@fos54235 It's great that you were on the cancellation list. Your surgery is much sooner and only a few days away. When we hear the word "cancer" most of us want to get the treatment started as soon as possible.

Did you do research on robotic hysterectomy? Here is what Mayo Clinic has on their website:

Mayo Clinic: Robotic Hysterectomy:

-- https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/robotic-hysterectomy/about/pac-20384544

That is what I had and my hysterectomy was laparoscopic. It was the same surgery as yours that is scheduled.

Being a bit frightened seems about right to me. When you think about it it seems pretty normal to be frightened as this is not an everyday occurrence for any of us. I was honest with my nurses and doctors and told them I was frightened. I didn't tell all of them that. Just a few and they were compassionate and reassuring. I have found that more I try to hide behind fear and anxiety thinking that no one will know the more frightened I feel. Does this make sense to you?
