  • Awe I’m sorry to hear that. Once he’s out of theatre as you say you will feel more relaxed. You will be in shock. 

    Once you’ve had a chance to speak to him you will feel a lot better I’m sure.

  • He is out obviously they couldnt tell me anything doctor will ring me tomorrow I can not visit because he tested positive for covid but he had covid had christmas and was negative from 29th December so not sure why

  • That’s good news . Hopefully the covid will resolve and just a wee rebound .

    A major step forward .

    I hope you both have some sleep . He is in good hands .

  • Thankyou maybe get more than a hour sleep now we wait for result managed to get it all took some of the bowel and re attached to the colon whatever that means thankyou so much

  • That’s good news . It means they have removed the tumour and reconnected the bowel without having to use a temporary stoma .

    Means one less operation too if he needed it reconnected later on .

    Have a good rest .

  • Hi,

    Thats what they did with me. I had a right hemi colectomy they joined the large and small bowel together and I did not need a stoma. That’s good news in itself the tumour removed will be sent to pathology now to see if he needs any further treatment. 

    Try get some sleep. Heart️xx
