Thank you so much for your response and support. You’ve already made me feel better. I’ll definitely copy all those questions and ask them, as all that’s been going through my mind, is what happens now. I’m new to the sight and wasn’t aware there was a more specific group so that’ll certainly help. I had put off reaching out for help as I didn’t want to be bombarded with horror stories, so this is great.

I spent 12 hours in A&E yesterday as I have an impacted bowel, which the dr suspects I was discharged with. I was vomiting and unable to eat from the day of the operation and have lost two stone since 29th of Feb. But I’m taking the treatment now and can feel it working. Honestly, although there have been mistakes made, I’m incredibly grateful for our NHS, as they still try their very best to help patients.

That’s why I’m more concerned about my health that blaming individuals. This, to me, was an honest mistake/accident rather than an outright act of negligence. My surgical consultant stated it’s never happened in the history of the pathology department.

That is a really healthy and productive perspective. You say you are taking treatment now. Is that for the post surgical symptoms or are you referencing chemo?
