So glad your surgery is coming up soon. I’m 63 and had the same surgery on 5/29. I’m recovering well. I did note a fever of 101.4 the evening following surgery. I called the after hours line and was told it was most likely a reaction from anesthesia so I took a Motrin 600 and fever subsided. Keep in mind you will need to take the Tylenol or Motrin according to Dr.’s orders. I was also prescribed OxyContin but took only one dose for pain after I arrived home. The incisions are really small which is great. Get rest but also walk and move to prevent blood clots. Gasx (after meals) is useful because you will be gassy for a week or two. Take the stool softeners as recommended. Follow your orders provided by your Dr. 3 weeks out and I’m feeling much better. Awaiting final pathology results as my Dr. did not agree with the pathology report (stage 1A and 1C different rare endometrial cancers) and she has sent my slides to a special molecular testing lab to confirm diagnosis.

All of this is not easy that’s for sure. I’m also a breast cancer survivor (DCIS) and had unilateral mastectomy in 2024. I take each day as a blessing and try to keep my thoughts in a positive place.

Prayers are lifted for your successful surgery and healing.🙏🏽
