6 weeks to the day of having investigation under general anaesthetic and having been told everything was fine, tonight, after my colostomy had been very active, I had to run, (well, hobble,) to toilet, leaving drops of blood behind me! I passed mucus and quite a bit of blood and I've been bleeding onto pads for 5 hours! I've just passed more mucus and blood into toilet! I'll phone colorectal nurse in the morning but I'm so scared! I keep thinking back to the beginning when I was told there was no cancer, then, a year later, there was, they just hadn't seen it! I'm terrified it's history repeating itself! I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight but just writing it down helps!
Thanks for listening,

I’m so sorry you’ve been dealing with this Moira!! I’m pleased that the bleeding did eventually stop & that you managed to speak with someone though & that you’ve an appointment in the not too distant future. The sight of blood in the toilet when you’ve been through anything like we have is terribly alarming & when that bleeding continues I can really appreciate the panic & worry you must have been feeling. I hope that is the end of it & your surgeon will be able to reassure you at your upcoming appointment.
Nicola
