  • Hi @Nannatash, I'm not sure about what the treatment would be after the hysterectomy, I reckon it will depend on the pathology results but I'm sure one of the lovelies will have a better answer for you. You could also ring the Bcna nurses tomorrow on 1800 500 258 to find out what they know. What a bugger to have to have a hysterectomy on top of everything else. Have they scheduled your surgery for that yet or are you waiting on that date too? Sending you a big hug lovely and sending you positive vibes. Xx Cath
  • No I no nothing yet no date either but itll b in next few week's
  • @Nannatash It is hard to know what will happen. Your Doctor is the person who will be able to tell you.

    The chemo we have for breast cancer is different from the treatment for other cancers. If you are having a hysterectomy because you have cysts in your ovaries or uterus the treatment afterwards will not be the same as what it would be if you had another cancer. Let's hope it is all OK.

  • Oh you poor bugger. Hopefully all benign and soon gone so you not have to worry about it anymore. X
