Hello Carbar and thanks for the post

It roughly take 6-8 weeks for a wound to heal after surgery. We have a section called surgery for bowel cancer on our website you may like to look at for further information.

Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Best wishes

Naomi
