Endometrial Cancer

Because of the type of cancer I had, stage 3A, grade 1, endometrial uterine cancer, I was forced to have a complete hysterectomy. I had it laparoscopic, which was great. I was only in the hospital one night. Recovery was a little bit easier because I was not cut open and everything like that. But still, one night, and there is a recovery time of about four to six weeks. I was forced to have radiation and chemo after that. And my chemo started three weeks after surgery. I did have a chemo port put in, which helped a lot with that. My suggestion would be to ask for that. If you are going to have chemotherapy, ask for the port to be put in so they don't have to locate your veins each time. Because as chemo goes on, your veins become harder to find. So as far as the surgery though, that was really, really easy. I was lucky enough not to have to be cut open like some people.
