Post surgery hormones
Hi everyone :)
I had surgery for my ovarian mass that turned out to be stage 1A at the end of January - because the surgeon thought it was possibly benign I was left with my other ovary and uterus so I’m still having regular hormone and period cycles.
I’m now coming up to 4 months post op and just about to have my 4th post surgery period - each cycle I’ve experience pms symptoms like nothing I’ve ever had in my life, like every symptom has been ramped up to 11. Last month the brain fog was so bad I couldn’t finish most of my sentences and this month I’ve just had to leave work early because I can’t stop crying (SUPER emotional).
Was wondering if anyone else had this experience? A nurse told me casually it may take some time to calm down but 4 months on feels like a long time for things to be this intense? Some online research I did seemed to say that a month or two and things should be back to normal.
I guess also having that cancer diagnosis means it’s hard for my brain not to think that the cancer is in the other ovary and making things go nuts. (I don’t think it is but still!)
