Pelvic Pain.

Hi Margaret W 

After surgery my mum had what we believe was adhesions . They were really quite painful and she even had to watch the position she was sitting in eating . The time she ate etc . A bit like a pulling pain . 
However scans never showed any issues and after months of being bothersome they settled down . Once I had googled them I could see why she might be sore .

Not suggesting it’s the same thing just sharing her experience.

take care ,

Thank you kindly for your reply.

It's nearly a year since my surgery, the pain started around June.

I am waiting on further tests, hoping it will settle too, but any pain is a worry when you have recurrence anxiety. 

Hope your mum is doing well now.

Regards,

Jules.

Hi. 

I should have said it was about a year later before it started . I meant to say that .

My mum died this year but got to be an older lady  thanks to the nhs . She had lots of recurrences as she was a stage 4 patient at diagnosis but the interesting thing she had no symptoms of pain for any of them . The robust scanning got them whilst they were small and manageable. Quickly nipped in the bud . Bowel cancer is still very treatable even in a spread and has a lot more options than a lot of other primaries .She lived 15 years as a stage 4 patient . 

But anxiety of this happening is very real . I will link you in an article written by a dr on life after the treatment is over you might find helpful .

Macmillan also has teamed up with Bupa to offer six free counselling sessions if you think that might help . The helpline has the details .

take care and I will link in the article .
