Hi all

I had a mastectomy on the 7th April, since I came out of hospital I have had a really upset stomach. The first three or four days where the worst, running to the loo constantly. I have felt sick but not been sick. I'm not eating well, and not much appetite. At first I thought it was from the anaesthetic or maybe I had picked up a bug but surely I would be over either of these by now. Any ideas??? 

Thanks and warm wishes to all xxx

  • Sorry to hear that it could still be anesthesia? Have you done a Covid test as they are symptoms too. Hope you feel better soon it may be stress too. I had mine in November it takes some getting oveThumbsupr just done 6/6 chemo now waiting to start Radiotherapy but fighting on Thumbsup

  • Thanks, I will do covid test have no other symptoms but it's worth rulling out. It's just so tiring feeling like this. The surgery and treatment is enough on its own without this and then you just start to worry that it's something more serious. It's not like me to have upset tummy at all. I had to get out of bed to go loo last night and twice already this morning.......apologies for the overload of detail!! 

    Thanks and I hope rest of treatment goes well  xxx

  • If test clear it may be worth ringing GP or BCNurse I got this with one of my treatments and BCN said take imodium but best check first. You maybe have reacted to something they gave you in hospital. Take care x
