4mos post op- baseball sized lump
Hi y'all,
I'm 4 mos post op a full hysterectomy and double hernia repair. I've done well for sometime now UNTIL yesterday. I was in the shower and while washing my stomach I discovered a baseball size lump in the center of my hysterectomy scar. I am terrified! I just started Jinteli and my hot flashes have subsided. Emotionally I'm doing ok and I've noticed that since surgery my focus is more on my children, its kind of hard to explain. Maybe one of you can find the words to describe this feeling and maybe one of you are experiencing what I am. I need some kind of reassurance bc feeling a lump that large inside your body is quite unnerving.

Surgeon called me this morning. I'm going in for a CAT scan and depending on those results I may be going into emergency surgery. I am absolutely terrified. I just want to pretend this isn't happening.

Re: 4mos post op- baseball sized lump
I hope it's "nothing" and you can skip surgery! But if you have to go in....remember....you got through the hysterectomy and that's MAJOR surgery! It's so fresh in your mind that you cal easily recall the pain and automatically think this is going to be the same type of thing. (I know....easy for ME to say!) What I'm TRYING to say (rather awkwardly) is that you can get through this too...one day at a time. Try not to dwell on the present....think about the future when you are healed and well. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this extra thing! I've sent as few prayers your way.
