Hi there ,
Firstly welcome to the online community although I’m sorry you had to find us.
2 years ago on 14th March I had my tumour removed surgically (no stoma) prior to 4 1/2 weeks of chemoradiotherapy, this followed on 8?weeks after my surgery. I remember being so sore after my surgery & 3 days after my surgery my stitches burst & then things got really painful. Once things began to heal it kind of happened fairly quickly to be honest. I probably noticed a difference around 4 weeks post surgery.
I know hospital appointments etc., are a bit all over the place at the moment with the country being in the predicament it is with COVID-19 but do you have a check-up due? If not I would see if you could see your GP or maybe a home visit by a district nurse could be arranged just to put your mind at rest that everything is healing ok & there’s no infection etc. I found Epsom salt baths a godsend both after my surgery & during & after treatment.
I hope this helps a little.
Nicola
