I completed my 6 month follow-up last week (April 6) at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. I'm now 20 months out from my surgery (radical hysterectomy with with oophorectomy and salpingectomy) in August, 2019. The appointment showed no changes since my last follow-up and that was a relief. Two months after the hysterectomy I had a total hip replacement, also at Mayo, that had originally been planned prior to the endometrial cancer diagnosis. So, with the hysterectomy and the hip replacement, it has been a physical challenge to understand what the changes are to my body. When I have the gyn surveillance appointments I also schedule a consult with pelvic physical therapy. Those PT appointments have been so very helpful and although I'm nervous before each of these follow-ups, I also look forward to the thorough medical care I get at Mayo. I still notice my blessings every day and feel grateful.
