My R.T. @ chemo ended last Wednesday and ever since I’ve been passing a lot of blood and mucus. Is this normal and how long does it go on for? Anyone had this?

  • Hi . It may be that the radiotherapy has aggravated the tumour so it is bleeding as stools pass it? Mucus is normal but I think we’re sometimes more aware of it than others. If you’re worried then give your colorectal nurse a ring or the support team on here on 0808 808 00 00 - they’re available 7 days a week from 8-8

    Take care
