(18,475 posts)...for my wife to feel even back to somewhat normal after her hysterectomy but we had a bit of a party. It will be two years in July since the surgery. Her oncological gynecologist said she needs to return for oncological check ups for 10 years.
Surviving is a win, enjoying life again is the reward.

(18,475 posts)When you beaten a killer, consider yourself a warrior.
When you've won and killed no one else in the process, consider yourself the ultimate warrior.
Warriors are treasured because of bravery, determination and their consistent positive attitude.
It's the only way.
