Lymphocyte count

Hi Jools63

I'm afraid I can't answer your question but I noticed that your post hadn't had any response yet.

As your operation is in a couple of days time it might be an idea to give the Macmillan Support Line a call on 0808 808 0000 and speak to one of the cancer information nurse specialists. It's free to call and they're available every day from 8am to 8pm.

Wishing you all the best with your surgery

Thank you so much for your response. I have since spoken to a Macmillan nurse, and attended my pre-op at my local hospital. They have reassured me that my surgery would not have  gone ahead last November if there was any increased risk. Getting really nervous now for Friday. Haven’t met my new surgeon yet, but will meet before surgery on the day!

Hi Jools63

just wanted to wish you best of luck for your reversal on Friday I hope it goes ahead for you and goes well , my reversal will be after my chemo finishes in June , will be thinking of you tommorrow 

Lots of love

Hi Peacock62

Thank you so much for your lovely message. I’m really nervous now. Everyone who has already had their reversal have had such differing levels of problems. I’m most worried that my bowels won’t work e to the worry of not going home until they have! Daft I know. How is your chemo going? I really hope it’s not too tough. All the best.

Hi Jools63,Good luck with your operation and best wishes for a speedy recovery.Love Jane xx

Thank you so much!

Hi Jools63

My Chemo is going ok it's depressing thinking of the timescale but I just have to crack on with it . Severe fatigue and nauseous are my main symptoms but am pushing myself to do excersises yoga, walking and swimming,  our Maggie centre is wonderful and have been a great support to me . I fully understand your apprehension about the reversal I feel the same , if you look at my post on the Bowel cancer group , I think it's titled , I don't understand about CEA markers there are some really positive replies about the reversal op from Nicky nosher and Jersey Lily. These have helped me get a grip . Well I really hope it goes well sleep well tonight 

Sending you positive vibes for the op

Sorry your reversal must feel like such a long way off. I was really grateful not to need chemo after surgery. Good for you being so active. I can’t wait to start a new class or two! My reversal is going badly unfortunately. I was very swollen so have not been able to eat or drink yet. Hospital didn’t administer a drip after my op so I’ve become really dehydrated! No longer on oxygen, but can’t wait to get the drain out of my nose. Can’t get dressed because of the tubes. Waiting to see the consultant today to see if I’m getting better. Keep up with your fitness, and your positivity. Xx

Hi Jools63 so sorry your having a rough time , I hope you will be able to eat a little soon and start recovering , this is a horrible illness and really hope you have a speedy recovery. Sending you hugs and positive vibes
