mysecondchance's Debulking surgery Experience

Debulking surgery

I had my debulking surgery on June 21, 2010. My mom, my son and several family members and friends were there to support me. I felt peaceful before the surgery and I wasn't scared. Dr. Kado came in to talk to me and told me they would begin in about 20 minutes. Of course the next thing I knew it was over. He told my family he had been able to remove 95 % of the cancer. That whole day I was pretty out of it. I remember bits and pieces of people coming in to see me. It wasn't until later I remembered exactly who was there.

I was scheduled to be released from the hospital on the fourth day but felt I wasn't ready so Dr. Kado let me stay an extra day. He told me I had sailed through the surgery and he was very happy with the outcome.

They had removed my ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes and appendix. I would begin chemo again in about five weeks.
