Waste from Rectum is high.

Hello Chromeplated,

I'm sorry to read you are having such trouble.

I think this needs professional advice.  We all have our own limited experience and focussed advice which we can share.  But it is limited and we aren't medical people, whcih means that, for me at least, there are things you've described which I don't understand.  I suspect other forum members may feel the same way.

I don't wish to be a barrack-room lawyer so I'll say no more.

Good luck though, and I hope things improve for you.

Thanks.

It's not the cause etc I am after  but I am just asking if anyone else has the same problems or have experienced them in the past. 

OK, understood!

Hi there

Im sorry that you are going through this. 
I really hope that things settle

Keep chatting if it helps, graphic here is a release for us. We are all in it together  Have you’re team given you advice?

Take care 

I have in the past called the support team but I am told it can happen etc, so I will wait till the 10th June for my fifth Chemo appointment. I have a phone call booked to me on the 31st so I will raise the matter then.

Hope you can have some advice about the problem. 

I have an ileostomy, with my colon including rectum being removed.  I also have urges to poo and in last 2 days have had mucus coming out from my bottom. Is this normal?

Hi Steph

Im sorry to hear that. I have an ileostomy from LAR surgery and pass mucus occasionally but very little and not often. May be good to contact your colorectal nurse. Or ask the nurses here they a really helpful and available more hours 

Hello Steph,

You'll have read by now that mucus coming from the bottom is not unusual in our general situation.  But we all vary in all sorts of ways and I think you are right to ask questions now rather than any of us make assumptions.

I, too, pass mucus, but my surgical history is quite different to yours or Artsie's.

I agree completely with Artsie - your colorectal team are the folks for this, because they''ll know, for you personally, where this mucus is likely to be starting from, and how the urges you describe are arising given the radical nature of your surgery.

Best wishes, BP3
