Bowel resection

Postby Arkyjayray » Wed Feb 22, 2017 5:55 am

Hi guys, just have a quick question, how long does it take to get results about lympnodes once they have removed them? Having a resection done and they are removing them along with some bowel to see if the cancer has spread. Sorry if I'm not using the correct terms

Depending on where you have it done, it can take anywhere from a few days to a week or two. Ours took about 5 days.
