Hi all. Had bowel cancer surgery three weeks ago xx thought I was doing ok xx was walking a bit and doing ok, but I feel like I’ve been run over with a combine harvester. No energy. Could hardly dry my own hair this morning. Is this normal?
Thank you Peter for your prompt reply. Think I am just far too impatient for my own good. Good luck on your recovery.
Hi, just had a resection on Thursday, stomach very swollen. Obviously very sore. Worried is this normal?
II would be grateful for any info.
Lucy
