Hernia from debulking

Hi 797

I don't have the experience you're looking for but I noticed that you haven't had any replies yet.

I've had a look through the group to see if anyone else has mentioned having a hernia and found that Divingisfun posted about having a hernia a year ago. I've 'tagged' them into my reply to you in the hope that they are still a member of the community and can come and share their experiences with you.

Yes I have a hernia following cancer surgery 

Good morning. I was told if the hernia surgery wasn't 99% effective that it may jeopardize my future outcome. If I need more surgery they may not be able to help me. So, I'm at a crosswords. Do I dare get the surgery? I don't want to mess up anything up if God for bid I need surgery again. How did your surgery go? 

Hi, Yes I have a incision hernia and I am in the same position as you. After seeing both oncologist and general surgeon, they don’t recommend repairing the hernia. I have now been to have a measurement for a hernia support belt. I am due to have another scan on 28th October followed up by a consultation. I’m not sure what to do either as my cancer is stage 4. I’ve had 6 chemotherapy sessions and a debunking during the last year. The last result I was told it has effected my lymph nodes.  Considering we’re at stage 4, it seems we are just putting off the inevitable. Sorry if this sounds morbid. xx

Hello JSA. I'll also be fitted for a hernia belt. I just really wish I could just get the surgery. This hernia is bothersome. But I don't want to jeopardize any of my upcoming surgeries. I've had 8 rounds of chemotherapy and debulking also. My cancer is obviously not gone, but it's "sleeping " . I'll now be seen every two months by my oncologist and gynecologist. I understand how we are putting off the inevitable.  I'll just live my life to the fullest until I can't anymore. XX

Yes I have a hernia but luckily doesn’t give me many problems. Never had a mention of a support belt. Checked by a surgeon and recommended to leave alone and happy to go along with that
