Coccyx and part of sacrum removed. Nerves have been affected meaning I have bowel and bladder complications - still have a catheter in place. Swelling in buttock area means its uncomfortable to sit  down. 
I would love to hear from anyone who has been through similar experience &lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=225795&amp;AppID=20417&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>Former Member</name><uri>https://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember</uri></author><category term="swelling" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/jmajor/archive/tags/swelling" /><category term="Hospital" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/jmajor/archive/tags/Hospital" /><category term="colorectal" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/jmajor/archive/tags/colorectal" /><category term="nerves" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/jmajor/archive/tags/nerves" /><category term="catheter" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/jmajor/archive/tags/catheter" /><category term="chordoma" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/jmajor/archive/tags/chordoma" /></entry></feed>
