Hi my dad has an ileostomy after colon cancer and liver mets.  Recently they were worried about blood in his stoma bag. They called an ambulance but he has no wish to go to hospital. It seems to have stopped for now.

Does anyone know if this a usual  occurrence in his situation ? He is terminal and bed bound but still able to eat and drink normally within his dietary restrictions.

I just wonder if this is a sign of his disease moving along now or just a minor setback.
