WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

Hi Mark,I saw my surgeon 6 weeks post op and the urologist 4 months post op.The scans and blood tests were 4 monthly to begin with,then 6 monthly.I had a complication with both kidneys on one scan but that resolved and I’m now on yearly scans.I’m almost 5 and a half years post surgery.Jane x

Hi like Winkers60, at first I had a series of face to face appointments with surgeons to check the stoma and with my oncologist to plan follow up. I also had haematology follow ups as I am on blood thinners. All except oncology resolved into telephone appointments. In my hospital that's quarterly for 2 years (after blood tests and CT scan) then 6 monthly for the next 3 years (ditto).

My surgical CNS used to ring too at the very start - she's the one who can confirm how it all went and you could ring him/ her if you want information or reassurance now.

All the best,

Latestart

Thanks winkers 

It just feels you are in limbo, am I all clear or am I not. I guess I'll hear soon enough 

Thanks again

Mark

Hi latestart 

I'll just have to wait it out by the looks of things.

Iam on blood thinners also because of my reaction to the chemotherapy another 7 weeks of them.

Thanks again 

Mark
