tips after bowel cancer
Hi there,
I had rectal cancer in 2016 - am British but living in The Netherlands - and treatment was very good although had leakage after op so was in hospital for one month. Was advised to drink 3 cups of green tea a day - currently survey being done here on the benefits from green tea - and find it helps my stomach in settling. Another tip I have was after the removal of my 'bag' had bouts of pain in my right side but physio carried out 'kneeding' for 3 sessions and was not troubled again with the pain I had had.
