Hi.
I have survived stage three rectal cancer, after a July 2021 diagnosis. I went through Chemoradiotherapy, then had surgery to remove my tumour In February. After pathology, my cancer was downgraded and I was informed it had not reached my lymph nodes. As such I needed no further chemotherapy. I had my temporary stoma reversed in August, and have been recovering well since.
After the reversal I was very ill with urine infections and constant lower back pain, passing mucus daily. after two months this subsided and so I have since returned to work in November and have been getting stronger by the day.
Over the weekend I have suffered the same symptoms again and quite a bit of dizziness. I have resisted strong pain medication so far which caused constipation, but im getting close to needing this again.
its worrying me frankly.
