I had a colonoscopy yesterday and was told that I had the very early stage of colon cancer. Haven't gone for follow up yet just wondering how long it takes to get over the resection surgery

I don't know. How are you holding up? Congratulations on it being caught EARLY stage which is the best IF you HAVE to have cancer. sounds like you are going to do great just on that alone. I don't have your answer, but I just wanted to say, hang in there, and all the best, get well soon.

sadly theres no recovery. colon cancer is usually very fatal. like on a scale of 1-10 its and 11. you should probably go and impregnate like 4 women because if you don't your family tree is going to wither away.... not unlike how you will wither away. have fun!

First let me give you my empathy. Second, (of course you know this) your recovery will depend entirely on you. That is, on your current health, age, etc, AND on your mental attitude. So, call on all your inner strength, faith & higher power (whatever/whoever yours may be) and know that this kind of cancer has a very high survival rate. So, be take heart. Also, you might find support among friends, family & groups of people in the same boat, on line or in person to be a great source of comfort. Good Luck to you.

good for you for finding out early. i had an aunt who died of colon cancer. she didn't find out she had it until it was too late. she kept going to get checked cause she knew she was sick and they kept sending her home with constipation medicines. fucked huh? just good luck and they say that your type of cancer is one of the most curable kinds of cancer if caught early.

Recovery is about 6-8 weeks, similar to a C-section as the abdominal wall is cut in both surgeries. The hospital stay is usually about 4 days, by that time your bowel habits should be back to normal and you should be able to tolerate a normal diet.
