Complete Hysterectomy?
Best answer:
If done vaginally, you should be up and around pretty good in a period of ten days to two weeks. If done abdominally with an incision, it may take a few weeks as that incision has to heal.
Hopefully, family can help you out. Don't rush it; let yourself get well.
Best wishes to you and your family.Hope all goes well for you. My daughter had it done that way and she was up and about in 5 days. The first 3 were the incision healing ones. The 4th was post operative depression day lots of woe is me crying. The 5th we went shopping. She felt muck better after that. Good luck my friend. I am having knee replacement tomorrow. They keep you for 3 days for that. Today you hardly have time to warm the sheets and you are home.
Can a woman who has had a complete hysterectomy have ovarian cancer?
Best answer:
no. there's no organ there to develope cancer onIf the cancer spreads it can cause cancer somewhere else. I do not think so.Yes. A radical hysterectomy includes the ovaries, but if she had ovarian cancer before they were removed, she can still have a recurrence of that cancer in the pelvis, and it would still technically be ovarian cancer. Also, she may have had a modified radical hysterectomy that did not include the ovaries; either way, it is possible.Yes. There are 2 ways:
1) She had ovarian cancer before the ovaries were removed and it spread so that while the ovaries were removed, the cancer remained, but elsewhere in the body
2) Almost all ovarian cancer begins in the outer lining of the ovaries. That same lining also lines the abdominal cavity and other organs in the abdominal cavity. Cancer can occur in that lining elsewhere than the lining of the ovaries, and it looks the same as ovarian cancer under a microscope since the cells are the same type. When this type of cancer begins elsewhere than on the ovaries, it is called primary peritoneal cancer. If you're a woman and you get it but it has not spread ot your ovaries, then they can diagnose it as primary peritoneal cancer. But if it began somewhere else and then spread to the ovaries, then it's extremely difficult if not impossible to determine that it began elsewhere, and it will just end up being called ovarian cancer. The distinction is not majorly important because treatment is basically the same. If a woman has had her ovaries removed and then later gets this type of cancer, then they'll assume it was primary peritoneal cancer, rather than ovarian cancer that spread before the ovaries were removed but that they didn't notice before. Your chances of getting primary peritoneal cancer are slim after the ovaries have been removed.
