My journey has started

I had a radical hysterectomy with removal of the omentum. Dr. Said he could see no visual signs of the serous papillary cancer outside of my uterus. The pathology report will be the only absolute answer to that question. I am totally in God's hands. I am feeling great nd walking around and able to cook and pick things up off the floor! Robotic surgery is just amazing. Thank you all for your inspirational stories . They carried me through to this first step. I was told that Chemo is next. I'm fine with that and reading your experiences with chemo has made t not so scary.

    Congrats on your successful surgery
    I am almost sure you will be just as successful with Chemo. I had no serious side effects with the exception of the normal side effects such as hair loss (the least of our problems) some neuropathy and absolutely no loss of appetite LOL. Take care of yourself eat well and be positive. Chemo is our friend. You will be fine. J

    Thank you for your reply. What kind of neuropathy do you have. Is it permanent? I am so happy to know that you are fine.

    muscle pains
    Hi I had some muscle pains during chemo, but nothing to shout about. It lasted through out chemo, but really don't even think about it. It felt like when you having period pains and you get leg pains. Don't worry, it will be over in no time. No it is not permanent. All the best J.
