I also had a complete hysterectomy on March 21. My surgery took over 6 hours. My cancer is the aggressive serous carcinoma the tumor was stage 1a. I’m now 5+ weeks from surgery and my interior vaginal incision has not yet completely healed so I must wait 3 more weeks to swim laps in a pool. My energy level is slowly returning, but I also think the restrictions I was given let me lose ground. I’m 89 years old, active and anxious to not tire after I walk a mile in our foothills where nothing is flat. I rejected chemo and am thinking I will also reject brachytherapy when healing is complete. Quality of life is much more important to me than quantity.
Thank you for your words of support.
