Sigmoid colon resection: What to expect for recovery?

My husband was diagnosed with colon cancer in October of 2024. He had surgery in December and has now, in July 2025, just finished his chemo. Fingers crossed, that will be the end of it. 🤞It has been an awful road to go though! It does test your limits by forcing you to go through (what to me feels like a roller coaster of emotions).

Hello @caring1962 and welcome to Mayo Connect. I appreciate you sharing about your husband's journey with colon cancer. It certainly is a journey that none of us really wanted to take. Will he be having follow-up scans or other tests in the near future? You might find a new discussion on eating after digestive tract surgery helpful. Here is a link to the discussion, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/how-do-i-eat-after-digestive-tract-surgery/.
I hope he is feeling stronger. Did he lose a lot of weight during the treatment?
