Jax, Massachusetts, USA: My gyn-oncologist warned me that I might get "post-surgical" depression. What surprised me was how good I felt mentally in the weeks right after surgery.

In my case, there was none, and my radical hysterectomy was considered curative. I was one happy recovering surgical patient! I returned to work six weeks after my surgery.
