Hi everyone,
On Dec 6th 2005, my 48yo. mom had surgery @ MSK to remove stage III CC. It's been a month into her recovery and I'm concerned her recovery is not progressing. In fact, she is the weakest she has ever been since surgery, and even weaker than during the intensive chemoradiation she endured. She has zero appetite and would never get out of bed if not for my begging. Needless to say, she has no muscle or energy left (and has lost 80 lbs since her diagnosis less than 1 yr ago). I guess my question goes out to others who are or have been post-op. How long did it take to regain an appetite and strength? Any other advice about post-op topics is also appreciated!
I wish everyone out there the strength and support to fight
Justine
