Sounds like a good question for her mother's oncologist. I have seen some posts on this forum by cancer survivors, so I'm sure it is a possibility! Good Luck!

I am happy that your mom okay. I'll talk to your mother's doctor. Did your mom have chemo? If she did then she might have wait. My dad is colon cancer survivor and my doctor told him to wait a few years. However I am not a doctor.

I'm a colon cancer survivor 2 1/2 years and off of chemo 2. I've read here on the boards that you may need to wait 5 years and I've also chatted with other survivors that you don't have to wait. Talk to the oncologist as well as the surgeon. And thank goodness your mom is ok. As well as the other survivors posting. God bless (if you believe).

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
