Re: Colon Resections (Have you had one?)

Not sure if you mean an entire colon or what. My husband had colon cancer,
early stage, and had a small section of his colon resected. He was home in
3 days and felt okay. Couldn't have done strenuous work for a while, but at
a job like mine he could have been doing it in a week, no problem. Don't
know if that is helpful or not.
