My partner had his bowel surgery on friday, he was diagnosed with cancer in his ascending colon.They removed part of his bowel along with the cancer,performed a bowel resection.The operation all went well according to surgeon. He is off all drips and only taking paracetamol for pain relief. They are talking about sending him home tomorrow. 

Doctors have said he will receive a phone call in 7 days with the results, is that quick? I was under the impression that it would take longer to receive the results. 

Thanks in advance for reading this. 

  • Hi  

    That's great to hear that everything went well and that your partner should be out of hospital tomorrow.

    As you know, the online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join and also post this question in the bowel cancer group as you'll then connect directly with others who have had the same operation and who can share how quickly they got their results.

    To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    All the best for today
