I had a right Hemicolectomny last May after completing the test NHS send through post. No symptoms whatsoever. Diagnosed with Bowel Cancer early stage but had three large cancerous tumours in bowel and 11, polyps pre cancerous.
I was very lucky:-
no Radiotherapy or Chemo or any type treatment required after surgery.
Hi Renaline My friend recently had this and was advised after a colonoscopy that she had a touch of diverticulitis? I’m not medically trained so you could make an appointment to see your GP and maybe keep a food diary to see if certain foods make your symptoms worse? I think nuts and seeds can be typical culprits?
Take care
