More Waiting

[mallyh]

my daughter had operation yesterday to remove polyps before they turned cancerous the other 80% of her bowel was biopsied which we have to wait for results she's in a lot of pain and very upset we are all trying to gee her up but she is really down, poor love she has't been feeling well for ages. we're praying it will come back with good results .

My Mum had something very similar and they gave her a codeine based painkiller which is know to case constipation but also told her to take large doses of Fybogel to counteract this. She was in a lot of pain too but at least this gave her some relief in terms of feeling she could take codeine based things and not jeopardise what they had done with her surgery.

My wife has a similar problem. Painkillers can aggravate the pain. She finds a generous 10ml of Gaviscon Double Action mixed with an equal amount of warm water helps. Hope this helps your daughter.

thankyou kvalidir sandmaster and ferlew i'll pass on your advise. she's spoken to her surgeon yesterday and he's ringing her monday with results of scan, biopsy results take longer .( it is a year since she had cervical cancer and all the test and operations) she is thinking the cancer has spread xxxx.
