Hi Nickwill,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

I am glad to see that your surgery is behind you and I hope that you are recovering well. I am not a doctor, but I expect that the number of stitches in the abdomen will depend upon 2 things. 1) The size of the patient, and 2) the surgeon's individual technique.

Kindregards,

Oh okay, my son was asking and I wasn't sure how to reply. I don't like saying "I don't know" with such a delicate subject x

HI Nicwill,

No problem. You'll find that no two cancers are the same. We are all individuals and likewise, our cancers are all individual to us. How are you getting on since you had your surgery?

Kind regards,

Hello, still quite sore and very tired.

Thank you x

Hi Nickwill,

It's a big operation and it will take some time for things to settle, but you will get there.

In the meantime, we are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
