Taking on suggestions of sitz baths, going over warm water, Loperamide when bowel too active and Laxido as stool softener I though things were getting better. Appetite has returned but digestive system is not coping well with anything but bland. My preference is Mediterranean as far as diet is concerned.
Last few days socialising I have tried to control bowel activity with Imodium or Laxido. However total evacuation of bowel with no control when in a coffee shop recently! Yesterday again I tried to balance things out and this morning I had to sit on the sitz bath for two hours with spasming ache of anal canal with oozing of faeces and distended anus. Eventually in great discomfort and shuddering, with dose of morphine, I discharged a full bowl of faeces. I have used some instillagel soon after, but have done nothing but sleep and drink green tea all day.
I thought I was getting better, what am I doing wrong? My first scan is 28 February but haven’t received the follow up appointment with oncologist yet.
I live alone, am 80 soon and mostly won’t be beaten. Nikki any experience of any of this please. Nana42
