Hi all,

I’m 5 weeks post treatment and I’m having real issues with urgency (poos).  I’m worried this is going to be a permanent problem and worried about how I’m going to get out and about and live a normal life. I literally have a few seconds to get to get to the toilet. 


I would be interested to hear others experiences. Does this improve as time goes on? Is 5 weeks still considered quite early days for recovery/ treatment side effects? 

thanks x

  • Hello well done on getting through the treatment. I would absolutely not worry at all its very early days. I was like this for around the first 3 months after treatment and then it started to ease. I have a morning movement which is like clockwork and then im fine. So right now relax and recuperate after the treatment. 

    Sending big hugs xxx

  • Ps I am almost 18 months post treatment now xx

  • Hi  well done on getting through the treatment. 5 weeks is really early , it should slowly improve over time mine did, but even now 19 months post I still occasionally have to move quickly. Hopefully you will see some improvement soon. Xxx
