How Do I Know All the Bad Cells Are Gone After Hysterectomy? Posted: 09-27-07 07:20am
I just recently had a total hysterectomy.
I still have my tubes and ovaries. The
pathology report stated that I had the
start of cancer. How do I know if it has
spread to tubes and ovaries? Does the
pathologist know how far it has spread?
Also, I have trouble with bowel movements.
I go 5 or more days without going. Is that
normal after this type of surgery?

What kind of cancer?
The pathologist can see if you have
'clear' margins. Meaning they took all the
precancerous cells.
Trouble with bowel movements is common
after this type of surgery. I'll pm you a
website for hysterectomy advice/help.
