I had radiation and I was cut open up for my surgery. I've been told my stomach muscles are gone and that my back carries the load now. I have to be careful, because sometimes it doesn't take much to make my back area ache.

I am similar to you Lee - it does not take much to make my back ache. (though I had my large hernia fixed though the ab's are shot).

How did they repair your hernia? Do you have a colostomy? I've been told to repair my hernia would be major surgery, similar to what I had done to remove my cancer, rectum and gave me a colostomy back in 2004. The hospital stay would be the same-5 to 10 days. The hernia repair would involve transfering my colostomy from the current side (my left) to the other side of my stomach (my right). I've decided I don't want surgery unless it's absolute necessary.
