I have been diagnosed with clear cell adenocarcinoma of the uterus. I am about to have a radical hysterectomy. I am concerned about the removal of so many lymph nodes. What would be the side effects? Swelling of legs? Pro and or cons? I am having quite of bit of discomfort now. Surgery in 5 days. I would appreciate any ones comments regarding what to expect.

Hi
Sue, I just found this site. I hope your surgery went well. I had the
same thing done in Dec. of 08. I still have swelling of the legs
mostly the left one. I have been going through chemo I just had
my 5th one yesterday. 1 to go! Did you have to do Chemo
Too? praying for you. Patty L.

Hi! Just had that same surgery 6/24. Ouch!. Did get some swelling in my upper legs. I'm Stage 3C, Grade 4 clear cell. Chemo & Radiation to follow. Waiting to heal from surgery to find out what the regimen, etc is going to be. Terrified, as I am sure you are as well. Came from out of no-where, too.
