I was diagnosed with borderline serous ovarian tumor stage IIIA2 three months ago. I underwent TAH, cancer staging, tumor debulking, omentectomy, lymphadenectomy, peritonectomy. I will have a CT scan and tumor markers every 6 months. Can anyone comment on how they felt physically after surgery. I still feel a lot of pressure on my bladder and physically tired. Abdominal tenderness as well. I don’t know anyone who has had this extensive of a surgery. I would love to hear what others have felt like and what I might expect in the months to come.

I didn’t have as many surgeries as you had: just open abdominal and removal of one ovary and fallopian tube because it was a giant cyst. Recovery was hard and painful, I was constantly fainting for the first 2 weeks and in so much pain, but they wouldn’t give me oxy (which I’m grateful for, now watching all the documentaries about addiction).

I was very tired even months after my surgery and I had abdominal tenderness (wearing a binder helps). I don’t have the pressure on my bladder, although I did when I had the cyst because it was pushing down on my bladder, but after surgery, I had a lot of UTIs and yeast infections and BV, not sure if it’s related.
