Hi does anyone have experience of having an incisional hernia after debulking. I’m on olaparib for maintenance but now have a hernia. My last two ct scans showed it increasing in size but the drs don’t mention it. It is quite painful at times and feels big to me.
Hi Nanny2three
I don’t have this experience but didn’t want your post to go unanswered. I see you are also a member of the Peritoneal cancer forum and wondered if you had tried asking the question there? I would imagine it’s a painful experience and not what you need on top of anything else. I do know someone who got one after colon surgery and was able to get it repaired. Hoping you can find a way forward.
