I havent posted on here for a year now partly because i didnt feel the need but partly because i wanted my cancer to be in the past.
in the last few months however it has become apparent that in one respect my life has not returned to how it was before my diagnosis. This being that i still find it really hard to control my bowels, i seem to have hardly any notice of needing to go and this means that increasingly i am putting off activities as simple as walking the dogs! Does anyone else have this and how have you managed it please? Im being scanned regularly but no longer linked to the support services that were there when i was undergoing radiotherapy and then chemo.
yes i was fortunate, the treatment completely reduced the tumour with no need for surgery. I had a colonoscopy a couple of weeks ago, all clear still which is good. I never see anyone to talk to about the continuing symptoms as the staff are just there for the procedure or the mri/ct scan . Its quite a disjointed service after the treatment has finished i have found. I will make an appointment with the GP. I take Loperamide most days as a way of enabling me to continue daily activities.
thanks for the reply
