question: Hi I had stage 3 ovarian cancer which involved having a colostomy and I now have a stoma . I have had my 3 month check up and am now in remission. However I have a persistent pain in my right side which hurts if I take a deep breath ,cough etc. I have been doing exercises especially swimming.(my doc says I don t have a hernia. The pain is more bothersome when I lie down.
