Ten days since caecal cancer hemicolectomy, bowels working well, but still generally watery five or six times a day. Is this normal, or should they be more solid? Or is it to do with taking prescribed electrolytes?
Hi ,
I can’t actually answer the question myself . Hopefully someone with experience will pop on . Although I do read other people reporting the same . I have added a Macmillan booklet above . If you just click on the link above it should take you to some information on it .
Still very early days for you and but you sound as though are recovering very well .
Take care ,
