Honestly, its better you consult a specialist to find out what's best for you. I really want to help but I don't think I can give better answers than specialist do. Sorry.\n\ngood luck\n\nLove is omnipresence, Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

I  had a complete hysterectomy 4/2005 because of ovarian cancer. Depending on the method of removal-vaginally or abdominally, your scar will be different. I had abdominal surgery and a scar from above my naval to my pubis, closed with staples.  You will have to wear a sanitary pad after the operation.The staples were removed 5 to 7 days later. There will be restrictions on lifting, showering, driving, climbing stairs after surgery. The recuperation period is 4 to 6 weeks. You will feel a pulling sensation when you try to straighten up in the beginning. I was tired from the operation for a few days due to the anesthesia, I think, but there was no unusual fatigue after the recuperative period.. If you haven't gone through menopause yet, your body will be forced into it all at once and that may bring up other issues you should discuss with your GYN. I had finished menopause by 46 and was done with the hot flashes etc. It is major surgery after all, so take it easy if you need to.

Benign tumor of the lymphatic channels in the small intestine.  After complete resection or excision, it should not recur.

Virtually any woman who must lose her breast to cancer can have it rebuilt through reconstructive surgery. But there are risks associated with any surgery and specific complications associated with this procedure.\n\nIn general, the usual problems of surgery, such as bleeding, fluid collection, excessive scar tissue, or difficulties with anesthesia, can occur although they're relatively uncommon. And, as with any surgery, smokers should be advised that nicotine can delay healing, resulting in conspicuous scars and prolonged recovery. Occasionally, these complications are severe enough to require a second operation.\n\nIf an implant is used, there is a remote possibility that an infection will develop, usually within the first two weeks following surgery. In some of these cases, the implant may need to be removed for several months until the infection clears. A new implant can later be inserted.\n\nThe most common problem, capsular contracture, occurs if the scar or capsule around the implant begins to tighten. This squeezing of the soft implant can cause the breast to feel hard. Capsular contracture can be treated in several ways, and sometimes requires either removal or "scoring" of the scar tissue, or perhaps removal or replacement of the implant.\n\nReconstruction has no known effect on the recurrence of disease in the breast, nor does it generally interfere with chemotherapy or radiation treatment, should cancer recur. Your surgeon may recommend continuation of periodic mammograms on both the reconstructed and the remaining normal breast. If your reconstruction involves an implant, be sure to go to a radiology center where technicians are experienced in the special techniques required to get a reliable x-ray of a breast reconstructed with an implant.\n\nWomen who postpone reconstruction may go through a period of emotional readjustment. Just as it took time to get used to the loss of a breast, a woman may feel anxious and confused as she begins to think of the reconstructed breast as her own.

Where are you located?  I am from Ohio and my mom was one of the first to get a total knee replacement with the new procedure. The doctor was an orthopedic surgeon...I would call the nearest place to your location that handles Orthopedic Surgery and find out if they are doing the new 3 in incision.  By the way my moms knee turned out great and the scar is barely noticeable and from what i have heard about the longer incision the time that it took to heal was alot faster "she was walking on it the day after her surgery".  Hope this helps :-)

While the people above gave great answers. So I won't repeat what was said.\n\nBut I just had surgery to remove this tumor one month ago. \nSo I did alot of searching for information about this kind of surgery.\n\nI found a website that is dedicated to this kind of tumor.\nIt is loaded with information, pictures, stories from others who are going through/been through this kind of surgery.\n\nThey have a forum where you can ask 100's of people, Questions you may have about before/during/after the operation.\n\nMy tumor was benign.(thank God) \nGood luck to you or whoever is going through this.

It depends on the location and type of tumor.  I had a similar diagnosis and had breast conserving surgery, radiation and now chemotherapy because of recurrence.  Susan Love's Breat Book was a good resource at that time.  If the cancer is hormone receptive, her doctors may subscribe a 5 year course of Tamoxifen.  Give her lots of hugs.

It's not necessarily a question of "coming back," but rather of "was it actually removed."  More often than not, even well-meaning surgeons do not recognize the disease in all manifestations and/or leave implants behind because they do not feel confident in treating them (for example, on the bowel).  The other point to consider is whether the disease was treated through ablation or other superficial surgical means (fulguration, coagulation, vaporization, etc.).  Studies show if not completely and thoroughly excised (very different from ablation, etc.), symptoms will recur rapidly because the disease was only superficially treated.  Best bet is to seek out a qualified surgeon who treats Endo through surgical excision.  Feel better and remember you're not alone!

i had to have surgery to remove some abnormal cells but it didn't turn into full blown cancer. They got it just before it turned in to cancer.

It may take months to feel like your old self again. If you are in top physical condition with strong abdominal muscles, recovery will be faster. Some people return to work after two weeks, while others need to wait  three or four weeks.\n\nExercise will help you heal. Even if you've never exercised before begin an exercise program to reduce swelling, lower the chance of blood clots, and tone muscles as soon as the doctor allows it.. \n\nYour scars may seem worse as they heal, which is normal. It will o take 9 -12 months  before your scars flatten and lighten. They will never disappear completely but won't show under most clothing\n\nJust be sure to follow your surgeon's post op instructions to the letter and you will do fine.  Your results will be long lasting IF you follow the diet your doctor prescribes and you exercise faithfully.  Good luck!

I had one September of last year. Unfortunately, part of mine died away. Apparently, that doesn't happen often. Up until that point it was looking pretty good and after the recovery of the surgery there wasn't any pain associated with it. I just had the Dorsi flap reconstruction (from the back) though and since then I have limited movement, muscle aches and spasms. Feel free to email me for specific questions.

It depends on the presence of scar tissue once the inflammation resolves.  Ask your gynecologist.

There are several types of soft tissue sarcoma. Generally speaking the tumor is removed first with wide borders, then the oncologist decides if you need additional radiation treatment or chemo. Here is a link to the NIH web page so you can look up the exact info for whatever type soft tissue sarcoma you need to learn about.\n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/softtissuesarcoma.html

Hi I am 42 and I have had 5 knee ops on my knee following a skiing accident that tore my ligaments and meniscus.  The athroscopy or scoping is an investiagtory procedure and relatively simple.  Recovery periods are usually quite quick but it does depend on whether they do any work whilst looking.  The major ligament replacements involve fibre optics as well but the recovery period is long (months) I am not sure on knee replacements but I would guess the recovery period is much much longer.\n\nI suggest you look at the website below and check the forum as you can get a lot of information from people with all sorts of knee issues.\n\nGood Luck

Fatty tumors (lipomas) rarely are cancerous.  They're common in older people.  If they are in the muscle they can affect motion and can be painful if they get big.  I had one and got it cut out, my leg hurt for weeks.\nIf the doctor can't find any cause, look at your diet.  Leg pain can be caused by excessive consumption of diet drinks containing nutrasweet.  Cut out all nutrasweet consumption for 6 weeks and your pain will go away.
