I was diagnosed last week, waiting for CT scan then surgery
I have a lot of bloating. Stomach looks 7 months pregnant
I am 69
Is this normal? Anyone eles have this??
Hi Sassy, it could be that your digestive system is reacting to the stress you’re feeling. I’d suggest a call to your CNS if you’re worried. I’m sure they would be happy to have a chat with you anyway!
Hi Sassy. I was like that before I had my op. Sorry to hear you have been diagnosed but you’ve come to the right place if you have any questions or worries. All the ladies on here have been where you are now or have had the op and/or treatment. I think the hardest part is the waiting for tests and answers but you will get there. I know the lovely ladies on here got me through it and you only have to ask if you are feeling unsure about anything.
I have just finished my last treatment so I can tell you that we all go on the journey and come out the other side.
Im wishing you all the best and sending you a big hug. Maureen x
