Recovery from Lower Anterior Resection?

prairyfire

I’m scheduled for a lower anterior resection for my stage 3 rectal cancer. I’ve had 6 rounds of FolFurinox and six weeks of 5fu and radiation. I’m 46 and still working full time. I would like to hear from anyone who has had the LAR and what the surgery recovery is like? When were you able to return to work? Any helpful advice for quick recovery? I’m trying my best to balance cancer and career and family…. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
