Hello all,
Long time lurker here. Had surgery 12/02/2020. I'm an AML Leukeamia survivor. My GI doc did a biopsy whilst he was evaluating my acute chronic diverticulitis. He said there was a spot that would eventually become cancerous. It took me literally a millisecond to opt for surgery asap.
I had surgery with the Xi DiVinci robot. What I'd like to know is when does this get better? The incision in my pubic area is so black, blue, and yellow. The bruising caused swelling on the sides of my bollocks and penis. I had no idea what I was in store for. Chemo was a walk in the bloody park compared to this. I now have 8-12 small poo's a day. Use to have one large one every morning. So much for routine . My current problem is I'm living on a low residue starchy diet. I dearly miss vegetables and sushi. Living on matzo ball soup gets old. Dairy products too high in fat or sugar cause the runs, whilst anything too sugary does the same. Any advice appreciated.
Cheers/Shalom,
Jacob
