What are the risks and recovery expectations for this treatment?

Surgical risks include bleeding, infection, bowel or bladder injury, and blood clots, while chemotherapy side effects may include nausea, fatigue, neuropathy, and lowered blood cell counts. Recovery typically requires 6–8 weeks, with gradual return to daily activities; you may need 2–4 weeks off work. Most patients experience significant improvement in symptoms within 3–6 months, though long-term follow-up is essential. Your medical team will provide pain management, nutritional support, and monitoring to minimize complications.
