I’ve been diagnosed with a tumour in the colon and I’m having surgery at the end of the month, I’ve been told I will most likely have astoma when I wake up , which I have no problem with, but I’m interested to know what the recovery time is and how long are you in hospital.?
any thoughts on this procedure and advice would be greatly appreciated.
