  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'.

  • Thanks Anne for your advice which I hope I have now done.  As you say will help and I don’t have to keep repeating myself.  Very much appreciated so thanks again

  • Hi. Sorry to hear your tummy is swollen and uncomfortable. It will take time. Don't rush the process to get better. Take it day by day.  I'm 15 months post op and still have a dull ache.  Are you due to see your nurses at all? 

  • Thanks so much for your reply and I will try and be patient with my recovery.  I am on Immuntherapy so see the people there and my oncologist every few months with scans, blood tests etc
