I'm currently undergoing chemo, a mix of Oxaliplatin and Capecitabine. I first noticed two or three areas on my stoma were bleeding, this has continued for three days and now I've got blood coming out of the opening of the stoma too. I went to A&E through the Oncology Hotline and had all the tests and sent home. Sadly no concrete answers.
I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Or If anyone has any ideas? I thought originally I was fitting my bag on wrongly (doubtful as have had for 3 years) but I know this is not the case now.
Thank you.
Steve
