Blood loss after Bowel Movement

Hello Squeak

Nothing was normal about my stools all during treatment.  I realise that isn't helpful but it is true.  I didn't have blood and clots but perhaps if you had hard stools this has caused that.

I am really pleased that you involved your doctor who can investigate it further if it carries on.

Really sorry I can't be of more help.

Thanks Irene 

It's a learning curve and minefield..

The team at the hospital are great.. think I'm starting to get a bit anxious now as from reading comment week 4 seems to be when all the pesky side effects start..

Just going to have to take each day as it comes...

Hi Squeak

I had quite a lot of blood loss and clots at the stage you are now right through until about two weeks after treatment finished. I was told it was fine and they didn’t scan me at all. I’d try not to worry. 

Thank you

Hi Squeak

I didn't have any blood or clots during  treatment but I did have some blood after, I spoke to the hospital about it but they didn't seem worried and just said to keep an eye and if it didn't stop to contact them again which I didn't need to. Sending hugs. Xx

Hi Squeak. ,

I didn’t have any blood loss etc., during treatment so I can’t offer reassurance where that’s concerned I’m sorry but I’m so pleased to hear you got your team involved & they’re being pro-active. All kinds of anomalies occur regarding bowel movements during this treatment, I went in expecting diarrhoea but spent the whole time battling constipation! I did have a suspected fissure post treatment that would bleed slightly after a particularly difficult BM but that resolved in time. 

I hope this soon resolves itself & you’re ok.

Hey Squeak. 

I really feel for you - navigating BMs and hospital appointments used to feel me dread especially when you didn't know what kind of day it was going to be.  

I never experienced any blood or clots but I was forewarned to expect it and not to worry.  It's great that you've also got your team involved.   

Have you also spoke to them about diet - to see if there's anything you can do help regulate the consistency? I think I got to a place where I was eating toast and jelly babies - not the diet of champions but it worked for me for the last few weeks.  

Also well done at being halfway through... Hope you are ticking off those days!
