Hi on the 24th April I had a colon resection,a gallbladder removal and appendix removal. I have to say I was so well treated and after some painful days I left the hospital after nine days stay feeling sore but so much better. 
I was so scared given a cancer diagnosis not knowing what to expect especially when I lost both parents to cancer three years ago so I just wanted to say it's not always as bad as feared and hopefully you can like me recover and feel healthier than I had in years. I wish you all a very speedy recovery 

  • It's great to hear how well your recovery is going since you had your colon resection, gallbladder removal and appendix removal last month March.

    I'm sure your post will give a lot of hope and encouragement to others who may be waiting to have similar surgery so thank you for taking the time to post and letting us know how you're getting on.

    I hope your recovery continues to go well but if you have any questions or problems that pop up at any point, our cancer nurses are just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Kind regards,
