Hi Pippa

It is very scary and you need a little time to process the operation. 
Did they give you a date for your operation?

I had a different operation a LAR which some have robot or keyhole. I had keyhole then incision which was invasive. 
I was up next day and walking with attachments and I walked out day five. 
It’s individual and see how it goes. 
It’s such good news that cancer is out and in a bin. 
Take care. 

I used to feel unhinged after these appointments and that was only as a relative . Hope you get a good rest tonight and the good people on this thread will guide you through and support you .

take care ,

Hopefully you will have keyhole.all I had was a tiny scar in my navel.as well as the stitching up of the "barbie bum" of course.hence very little pain post op.

Do let us know how you get on

Kath

Thank you I know I have so many questions 

thank you

I am trying to focusing on the cancer in the Bin bit, but the poor surgeon to has a few challenges about 6 years ago I had a huge stomach operation, and the surgeon put in a double mess which makes the surgery slightly more complex because as I had already major surgery in that area he was telling me that sometimes this makes organ a bit sticky together, which mean access is much more difficult. He has sent for the sugary notes from Mr Zack to firstly find out exactly where the mesh is and what parts he moved around I do remember him telling me my bowel is a slightly different position. It was such a large odd they filmed it for training reasons.

so this is playing on my mind a bit and will not be sure how it will effect my operation until he gets all the information from Mr Zack

thank you again you guys have made this so much more bearable I have a super friend who listen but, not to take anything away from her but I can put my hopes, fears, anxiety, with out a filter knowing I get both good information and support, because we are all in the same boat and you guys have been through all very similar feeling and fears 

Just one tip.whatever well meaning friends tell you.Do Not sit on a donut cushion after your op.it will make the stitches open up.I was lent a blow up one from the redcross via the district nurse.
