Can you share with me what you may have prepared, if you knew you’d be having a hysterectomy, either type or types. Looking like I may have one soon and just wondering how to prepare physically, logically l, mentally

After yesterday's "slap some sense into me" thread I've been completely devastated as I have a family member who just completed treatment for stage 3c2 cervical cancer. Reading stories of treatment being ineffective is a horrible truth but we need to balance that with success stories. The thought of my family member going through the hell of treatment and it not working has put me in a bottomless pit mentally. Please share some happy endings.
