At long last, my hysterectomy is booked and even though I am relieved, I am also very nervous and would appreciate any advice you may have.
I have had issues since my son was born 2 years ago and finally got a referral to a specialist in January (I'm in Canada so it's a little different here). The specialist ordered ultrasound a blood work and I went back on Tuesday for results. I have an "abnormal cluster of cells" in my uterus that he believes could be early stage 1 uterine cancer. He said even if it wasn't cancerous now, the likelihood of it becoming cancer is very high.
So I am having a laparascopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy on May 7th. I will be keeping my ovaries.
Does anyone have any tips about pre or post-op preparation? I am type A personality so need to have every last detail planned out.
