Hi Guys
Just a quick update from me .
My total stomach removal in August 2023 well what a roller coaster of a ride .
Chemo
Operation
Twisted bowel caused during Operation
Long recovery time
No chemo after Operation
3 Hernias in scare area removed in Nov 24
Another long wound healing process Jan 25 finally healed up
Todate I still get thing not quite right with some foods but will try anything but in smaller amounts . IE when I go to a restaurant I still try Starter main and pudding but only small portions, Bit a waste of money and food
But determined to live life as near as normal , Don't let my story put you off everyone's journey is different to mine . Take care everyone be kind to yourselves x
Hi Nicnac22 welcome to the forum..Gosh you have had some time of it with all that happened for you. I am, as I'm sure many others will be as well to hear that you are trying to get on with life which is probably hugely different to the one you imagined you would have. Thank you for sharing your story in the hope of helping others facing what you have faced and giving others 'hope' that life can go on after surgery. I wish you well on the path to recovery and keep well. Best Wishes Gail.
Lovely to hear from you again Nicnac, you seem to have had it pretty rough in the last couple of years let’s hope things are improving for you now. If remember rightly bile was one of the things that was effecting you, how’s that now? My husband also had it pretty bad but not so often now.
Keep doing the things that you want and take care of yourself
