From slow to very fast. What to do ?

Say yes. It took my hospital almost 3 months to go from "suspicious for endometrial carcinoma" on an ultrasound to the hysterectomy (plus bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy). I was wildly frustrated at the slow speed while it was happening, and now I keep replaying in my mind what I could have done differently to have made this go faster. At least for me, the robotic hysterectomy itself was one of the least stressful aspects of the whole experience. I really felt pretty good very soon afterwards and stopped taking any pain medication within 5 days.

Hello Val! Thank you for answering to me. It was exactly how I felt … frustrated and angry. Which is why i started an online contact with the Mayo Clinic. In 1 day, I had a evaluation triage phone call and an appointment set up, earlier than the oncology clinic i was referred to.
So, a YES seems to be the right way to go. I just felt like going from being taken lightly or even ignored to being suddenly in the middle of a storm .. in a good way.
Thank you for your inside look at the hysterectomy effects too and I hope things go well for you now, Val.
