Hello Nas,
Happy to hear the hysterectomy went well and you are home. I hope you are not in too much discomfort from the op and getting little walks around the house if you can. Hoping your original pain with the fibroid has retreated now. What a rollercoaster and another tough endurance challenge for you around health. Thinking of you and sending you hugs.
Step by step with recovery first and then with the next stages for the scan, lung and plan.
With the symptoms (as HRT is off limits) if it helps at all, my own experience with having to come off HRT for endometrial cancer last year and researching until the cows come home for other alternatives to help with all manner of symptoms, some did eventually improve from the ones I had before the hysterectomy and from when I was trying to get the HRT right but others didn't and in the end I went for a very low dose of setraline. I was desperate to get some symptoms minimised at this point (although I was advised I hadn't reached a therapeutic dose of it so it might not help) but it did. Mainly helped with sleep (its still far from perfect but post op I was 2 hours a night) aches and anxiety that ramped up post op mainly to do with the tanking hormones but also probably a reaction to the cancer diagnosis and the knock on effect that brings. All the other things which I have tried over the last 3 or 4 years for meno/post meno symptoms have helped to a degree - stuff you already know I know, magnesium, diet, keeping a check on iron levels/Vit D - the usuals. Personally, I've steered away from lots of supplements and herbal things now. It's a work in progress and I will let you know if I find any other avenues that might help xx
