    Hi Jenny,

    I’m 10 days post total hysterectomy too and know what a shock it is to the system.  One day everything is fine and you’re going about your daily activities, and the next your world changes and everything becomes uncertain.  It’s really hard to come to terms with. A hysterectomy had never been on my radar before and I really did not want to have the surgery... I was actually in tears when being anaesthetised. Now it’s done and I have to focus on moving forward.  Next step for me will be starting chemo around 5 weeks from now.  Scary stuff.  At least we are both early stage so there is every chance that we will come out of this okay.  All the best for your recovery.
