My best friend had a hysterectomy about two years ago due to cervical cancer. They caught it early and she is doing well now.

She was relatively fit prior to surgery, so I think that helped with recovery time. I went to stay with her for a few days after the surgery and she didn't even really need me. She was in the hospital for the day of the surgery, and two nights following. The laproscopy makes it much easier to recover than the old way where you had a large incision and a lot of cut muscle to heal.

I think the most trouble she had was with getting her hormones figured out after the surgery, since she hadn't started menopause yet.

I think you'll be fine, and we'll be with you!! Keep us posted okay?
