I agree, it also helps to know if the cancer is advanced. Sometimes chemo to start prior to robotic has better outcome. The robotic surgery is so much less invasive, same day outpatient procedure. I rode my bike two days later. Lol the catheter was the worst for me, had to recatheter before releasing me. Took them a few tries. Don’t be afraid to demand lidocaine if it happens to you. Pretty quick recovery overall. Hang in there!

Thank you for your response. I will be in the hospital over night. I am 83 years old so I do not think I will be on a bike. My notes say
the surgery is robotic assisted and vaginal hysterectomy. I know so little. The physician has said the the surgery will
be approximately 3 hours.
thank you again.
