Hi Mich56
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and, although I'm not a member of this group, I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.

Hello Mich
I think we have spoken before on another forum
I have had exactly the same symptoms over the summer, the tight band feeling around my middle has now resolved itself but I still feel bloated on and off and have pelvic discomfort
I was convinced I was having a recurrence but a recent scan didn’t show anything
My oncologist said it’s likely to be post surgical pain as everything is still settling (my op was 7th Oct 2024)
It’s impossible not to worry so I won’t say don’t worry …hopefully your scan will be happening soon
In the meantime I’m thinking about you - uncertainty is the worst place to be
Be kind to yourself
