Sigmoid colon resection: What to expect for recovery?

Hello Teresa, thank you so much for the helpful link. My husband thankfully did not lose any weight during his chemo treatment. He has been having regular blood work and some scans, during his treatment. Now that he is done his chemo he has a CT scan scheduled soon and he will be having a DNA blood test, as opposed to a regular blood test. The dna blood test will be very telling and we hope and pray to get negative results. Other than some nerve pain to his hands and feet and being very tired (during his treatment), he has tolerated the side effects very well.
I do most of the food planning and cooking and I ensure he is eating the right kinds of food.
Once again, thank you for reaching out and I appreciate this forum for its insightfulness.

I appreciate your reply, @caring1962. I understand what you mean when you say, "I appreciate this forum for its insightfulness." When I joined Connect I was facing my third surgery for a rare form of cancer and this was a lifeline for me. Cancer is not a journey that we should take alone. We need others!

I look forward to hearing from you again as your husband continues this process. Will you continue to post updates as it's convenient?
