Welcome to OCF! Glad you have found this site to get info.

Your partner needs to see his doc. Its important to follow up closely for at least the first couple years after going thru treatments. It could be anything or nothing more than scar tissue. If it would be a recurrence by not taking action could make something that is easily treated turn into very serious situation. Sometimes scar tissue builds as a patient heals and becomes painful. Best thing to do is go get checked and put those fears to rest by finding out exactly whats wrong.

Best wishes!
