2 week post op appointment
My post op visit is coming up Thursday. I’m wondering what questions to ask. I know I will get the pathology report so that will be a lot of information. I’m grade 1 so hoping for stage 1a or b. I think I want to ask about when I can do pelvic floor and abdominal exercises so I can have the best recovery possible from the hysterectomy. Just checking for things I haven’t thought of. TIA

Highly recommend you take a look at the NCCN patient reference guide (url below). These are evidence-based guidelines and protocols that many oncologists and cancer centers use. I saw two oncologists and 2 radiation oncologists and all referenced these guidelines when they provided me with a treatment plan. Obviously each person is different and the treatment decisions may look different than what’s described but I found it to be helpful so I knew if I was receiving good advice.
Beginning on page 65, there are some great question suggestions: https://www.nccn.org/patients/guidelines/content/PDF/uterine-patient.pdf
