After surgery waiting on result and a ct

Hi Foleyewes and welcome to the Online Community. I've a different cancer to you but I can agree the waiting on results and scans is dreadful. I'd offer some advice, don't consult Dr Google.

I can say that one of the side effects of having a general anaesthetic is bloating and abdominal pain which normally wears off fairly quickly. If you're worried you could give your CNS a call. Peppermint tea can help but personally I found it rather unpleasant.

It’s always helpful to others if you write a little something (or a lot) about yourself and your journey to date. You can enter it into your profile (click on your username and select “Profile”) It’s helpful to other members with a similar diagnosis who can then hopefully answer your questions. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. You can amend or update it at any time. 

The Macmillan Support Services also offer lots of information, support, financial guidance or just someone to listen. It’s free to call 0808 808 0000. Most services are available 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week. Have a look by Clicking here to see what is available and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two to three working days for replies from our expert team.

Sending you welcoming hugs B xx

Hi there

I had abdominal and lower back pain around the time of my diagnosis. It seemed to get worse when I was diagnosed which I realised myself at the time was probably psychological. My cancer was only stage 1, so don't read anything into it.

Best wishes

Hi, firstly I hope you're doing well. The hardest part is the waiting around for results. Obviously with covid things get delayed, my results were delayed. Since I had surgery in April, the in-between period was tough as I started noticing different issues with my body. I'm young, fit and healthy - to the point of being obsessive, I don't drink, don't eat bread etc. But once I was diagnosed, I started finding every ache and pain imaginable. I would definitely recommend mentioning it to your specialist nurse though, that's what they're there for. My CT scan came back clear, I was so surprised, but even now I'm thinking "what if they missed something" as I have found lumps in and around my abdomen, which have probably always been there, I was just oblivious to them in the past. I start one cycle of BEP next week. Stay strong. Please DM me if you need to. 

Hi mate, how’s things now?? Hope your well, I was diagnosed with a 11mm x 9mm yesterday waiting on urologist to get me in. I just want the op now to get it out as it’s so worrying. Reading your post eased my mind a little. Thanks bud
