@melhen -

I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Last month, I went through the same thing with FIGO grade 2 and Stage 1A cancer. I was surprised at how easy the robotic hysterectomy was. I went home the same day as the surgery and walked around and climbed stairs the next day.
The hysterectomy recovery has been easy. I was put on blood thinners for 30 days, which I had a hard time tolerating, but it's important to prevent blood clots with this type of cancer. During the surgery, they will do a pelvic washing, and if it comes back positive, they will most likely recommend brachytherapy/radiation. Let me know if there is anything else I can answer for you. Take good care

Welcome to out support group. Cancer is a word no one wants to hear the day they receive the diagnosis from the doctor. Now that your surgical procedure is scheduled how do you feel?

I was diagnosed with endometrioid adenocarcinoma FIGO 1. Once I saw the GYNOncologist and there was a plan in place I felt my spirits lift and was less anxious. I had a robotic laparoscopic hysterectomy and pathology assigned Stage 1a. I was released from the hospital the same day and just felt some fatigue after the procedure. There a few small incisions in my abdomen that quickly healed. It took longer for me to heal on the inside. About 4 weeks.

What other questions do you have? Do you have a date for your hysterectomy?

You should recover quickly in terms of pain, but adhere to the restrictions your doctor gives you. Even though the five incisions are tidy, there is a lot of healing to be done. I was up walking laps in the hospital 12 hours after my surgery, but still had occasional spotting 12 weeks out!
