Kathleen, you've been through a lot. To go into the hospital expecting a mesh repair and to come out having been diagnosed with cancer and major surgery and to have lost 35 lbs is a lot. Two weeks post surgery is not a long time. I'm sure that you still have some recovery time. However, you know your body best. If this pain doesn't feel right, then you should contact your surgeon or symptom management nurse. Have you reported your concerns? When is your next followup?
