Hysterectomy what to expect afterwards?

Gm! It’s been 8 days since my hysterectomy and the only thing left is my vagina. I am doing good and not to much pain only where they made a incision in my bellybutton. I got my lab results yesterday and the two lymph nodes they took did not show any cancer. They said it was Stage 1 cancer/ grade 3. I was so relieved to know that the lymph nodes showed no cancer. I go back Oct. 31st at 11am for a chech-up! I am handling this all so well for being 68 years old. So now it’s only uphill from here. Mayo Clinic Rochester is awesome!

@cheriels This is all good news and now it's time to heal. My doctor told me that while I was very well healed on the outside (those teeny tiny incisions) I still had healing to do on the inside where I couldn't see. I had my hysterectomy and follow-up at Mayo Clinic in Rochester and I felt and still feel so cared for. I'm glad you had a good experience and are feeling good. When you go back on October 31 the GYNOncologist will check to see how you are healing and give you information on your subsequent follow-up plan.
When you are feeling ready and healed I'm hoping you'll come back and let me know about your progress and support our other members who are in the same boat as you and me. Is that OK with you?
