Hi Gilly,

Glad you're back home, and that it went well, and that the result was so good. I also had bowel problems to start with, but they did have to remove a section. My bowel started working after about 6 days, but had 'wind-type' pains for a few days, but it settled fairly well. If you're not on any other 'bowel' medicine, you could try windeze capsules, they worked a treat for me before surgery.

Take care,

Sally xxx

Wonderful news, Gilly.

You'll recover all the more quickly for the relief of the borderline status!

Very best wishes,

Isadora

Hi Gilly

Brilliant news!

For really bad constipation try lactusol liquid with bisacodyl tablets. The combination worked wonders for me. The tabs are prescription only and they nudge a sluggish bowel into action and the lactulose soften everything. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

Hi Gilly

So glad you had such a good diagnosis, if there is such a thing! I was borderline in 2002. I didn't need chemo either, just monitoring with examinations and CA125 every month at first. I remember the bowel problems though, but it soon passes (if you'll forgive the pun ;-O)

Good Luck and take this time now to get stronger after your op and appreciate all the things you value in your life!

Love Wendy xx
