Hi, I’m 6 weeks post op. Primary sigmoid colon, mets ovary, liver, peritoneum. I’m struggling to go to the toilet, I’m using senokot and lactulose. Sometimes I go once a day, but then I constantly feel I want to go the toilet and it nothing except extreme pain as though something is blocking poop coming out. Other days I can go every 30mins for 7 hours. 
I’m so pleased that I’m alive, but I’m not living constantly worrying how my bowels are going to be on any given day. Is there anyone out there who has had a similar op and issues who can share their experiences?
