Hysterectomy due to cancerFrom: Connie (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat, 26 Apr 1997 17:34:38 -0500 (CDT)
I am taking care of my sister-in-law who lives with us. Carole has Down's Syndrome and is 49 1/2 years old. Early March she had her first internal in her life and 3 rather large polys were removed. Dr. said don't give it another thought 99% of the time these are benign. Three weeks later she called to say Carole has Endometrial Cancer. Total hysterectomy is recommended and she is scheduled for surgery on Monday April 28. Can anyone who has dealt with people with Down's tell me how I can best help to explain to her what is going to happen and how I can best help her afterwards. Carole's blood pressure is very high and on 200 mg of Lopressor daily to help control bp. Any thoughts would be appreciated. She is very overweight also. Connie
