Adenocarcinoma - just diagnosed

It’s been six weeks since my LAR and then 3 weeks since I was admitted for small bowel obstruction. My surgeon follow up is in May 8. Hopefully I can get the stoma reversed. My pathology report showed no cancer in any lymph nodes so hopefully no chemo. I haven’t been contacted so far about that anyways. Fingers crossed. Then I’m worried about symptoms after reversal!!??

They usually wait several months before reversal. Then you must be prepared for possibly suffering from LARS. You can watch this for an explanation of what to expect after reconnection.

There is also a LARS FB group when the time comes.
