Hello everyone, hope you are all well. Not sure if you remember, but my dearest mum was diagnosed with bowel cancer in november and had her operation 2 weeks ago but came out last Tuesday. She is doing ok bless her at 74 and both my dad and I were terribly worried but she has, I guess like anyone, good days and bad days per say.

She was 8 stone 11 when she went into hospital, didnt eat in hospital for 4 days and when she did start it was really next to nothing but has been on a good diet, strict to what she has been told to eat for a week now since she has been out which is great.

However the issue she has is, she has lost 7 pounds, in weight and shivery, fatiqued and also not sleeping but getting up around 5 - 7 times a night to go to the loo, ie bladder, we have told her maybe drink water earlier in the day/coffee etc. Are these normal symptons to get? - and will they just pass when she gets stronger? She is just waiting on a call from the nurses tomorrow. Thank you kindly...as always :)
