Hello,
Just follow the normal checkup given by doctor doing ultrasounds, scans and tumoral markers. Some pain is normal due to major surgery you have had. Avoid using the hands too much and don't carry heavy weights.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
