Hi ! As you have said in your history, 30 % of your bowel was removed. It may be normal because of reduced transit time for the food you eat unless you have also got some loose motions. Also the chemotherapy acts on the intestinal cells as well causing some irritation to the bowel wall. If the pain in your hip bone is getting prolonged, then you should consult your doctor, who may advise you for a plain X ray of the hip bone or a pet scan if need be. He may also prescribe you some calcium and vitamin containing products to adjust for the malabsorption of food due to shortened bowel. I wish you an early recovery.
