Hysterectomy 4 months after FIGO1 Endometrial Cancer Diagnosis

I wrote a bit-too-lengthy a reply just a minute ago. I wasn't on yesterday, but felt better than expected, and better yet again today. I am blessed that it seems to be healing well. With the pending kidney surgery (in just 2 months), I need to be complication-free and back in reasonable health for success in that. It will be an inpatient/overnight. I really wanted to have these two together, so I'm not spending most of this year not well (Q1), chasing diagnoses, labs and test (Q2), post op from this (July & Aug) and post op from the PCNL (Sept & Oct). But... it was not to be. I remind myself how fortunate I am that the kidney stone caused me to have the scan, where they discovered the endometrial cancer early (It wasn't on my radar). And to be able to have such excellent medical care.
Not focusing on the next surgery yet at all, just on healing from this one and gratitude.
Thank you for asking!

@nikkiww7 All very good news! Your recovery sounds very much like mine. The gas that was used during surgery was still in my pelvic area and so that caused some pain. After about 24 hours the gas dissipated/absorbed and I felt much better. Like you I was more fatigued than anything else. I'm active and so I was doing the slow walks as my body allowed too.
While you have more surgery coming up in a few months it sounds like you are doing your best at keeping focused on your present recovery. You have an attentive care team who caught the endometrial cancer and so I can see why scheduling more than surgery (no one's idea of a good time) in a year results in feeling fortunate.
Will you please keep posting and let me know how you progress?
