Hi everyone,
my mom is well enough to be operated on (yay). she is waiting to see the surgeon and have another colonoscopy to see if she may need a stoma or if they can remover the tumour and no stoma needed. She is tired and recovering from radiation therapy but I’m wondering if anyone has any tips to get her ready for surgery?
foods or exercises she should do?
thank you
Hi TinaTina and good to hear that your mum is well enough for the op. I’ve attached some links about exercise, diet and the operation which will hopefully give you a few ideas?
