Just diagnosed with Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma: What to expect?

Hi Helen, Thank you so much for this post and sharing your experience. I am having a robotic hysterectomy, removal of tubes, ovaries, cervix and sentential node biopsy on Wed for endometrial adenocarcinoma. Reading your post has been very helpful. My surgery will be done near my home , not at Mayo, but I am comfortable with that. I have my moments of high anxiety, but my faith is strong. I have no family near, my parents and siblings have all passed. My daughter lives 750 miles away, but is coming to be with me. Fortunately she can work remotely. I was concerned about going home the same day and
pain management, but your post was reassuring. Thank you. Janis

Take one day at a time. My Christian faith kept me through every phase of my journey. Biopsy, ultrasound, D&C and full robotic laparoscopic hysterectomy. I slept well every single night and had total peace. I went home about a hour after I woke up from surgery. Never had any pain, only discomfort. I’m a wimp…never been pregnant so I am not good with pain! When I woke up from the surgery I was shocked to feel really ok. I felt about 60% of myself and each day felt about 5% better. After the 3rd day I didn’t need to take advil nor Tylenol that they told me to take after surgery. I was told by my regular Gyn my outlook everything would really help with the healing process. I’m about 5 1/2 weeks post op. I prepared by checking out YouTube videos, best tips and even one about how to sleep after hysterectomy and even how to get out of bed. I kept a journal so if you have any questions let me know. Prayer, reading the Bible, listening to spiritual and uplifting music all helped me do well.
