Hi

its 24 weeks for me after bowel resection 

I started Iv chemo at 9 weeks as stage 3 and went outside my sigmoid colon but not into lymph nodes

severe allergic reactions to the chemo so had to stop but I still have difficulty walking my legs really hurt & are weak is this normal after surgery?

  • Hi,  , yes it can be as the operation is a major one, and full recovery can take months, and the chemo can affect things as well. If you are worried please contact your CRN or team, or perhaps the Macmillan ask a nurse. Hope you feel better soon x
