Hello to everyone interested.
I have a question on the forum... is anyone else experiencing a similar situation?
I've had this surgery for three years now and I have a hernia from the rectal removal that keeps getting bigger in my perineum. The doctor told me not to touch it because it's risky.
Hi Grzegorz ,
My name is Dylan, and I’m part of the Online Community Team here at Macmillan.
I wanted to reply to your post as I noticed it hadn't had any responses yet. This will bring the discussion back up towards the top of the forum, so hopefully other members who have had similar experiences may see it and be able to share their own experiences.
I'm sorry you have a hernia from the rectal removal that keeps getting bigger. Have you been able to discuss the increase in size with your doctor recently? We would always recommend getting in touch with your doctor first if you notice any changes or concerns.
If you have any questions about the hernia or your doctor’s advice, you can also speak with one of our cancer information nurse specialists on the Macmillan Support Line. They may be able to offer some information and help you think about any questions you may want to discuss with your medical team.
You can contact the Support Line free from the UK on 0808 808 00 00, from 8am to 8pm, seven days a week.
I hope you get some support helpful advice soon.
Best wishes,
Dylan
