I had HIPEC with CRS at Basingstoke that turned out to be Mucinous Ovarian cancer I had a LARS procedure on my rectum as the tumour was wrapped around my bowel, but had not infiltrated. At the time all cancer was removed from my abdomen and I was deemed cured. All my tumour markers were completely normal.
In December metastases were seen on my pre - chemo CT scan and confirmed by MRI. It was then deemed necessary to put me on Bevaciszumab to stop capillaries growing towards the mets.
I had another appt with my Oncologist on 04/03 where I was told all my tumour markers remain the same and are normal to low.
I am now having major issues with constipation. Also for the past 3 weeks I have had a persistent back pain that I thought was arthritis In my spine. I've had to have some codeine for this the past few weeks daily, for a torn muscle in my calf and also for arthritis causing joint pain in hands.
My bowel movements slowed to being just diahorrea dripping our, even with 3 laxido per day.
Last night I took 2 senna max and senacot liquid.
I started passing small bowel movements from around 3 am until 7 am this morning.I did not feel I had passed all as stomach bloated still.
I had a 3 egg omelette at 2 pm and then went out to get prescription and some medications and shopping thinking I'd be fine
Just as I got to the surgery I got massive tummy gripes and had to bolt into the toilet.
What I passed was an enormous hard stool and a lot more explosive diahorrea.
I'm shocked.
I've never had this so bad before and needless to say the back pain went with the bowel movement.
I am terrified now that my cancer is back and I almost had a blockage. I have a CT scan on 24/03 to see if the Beviciszumab I am on along with the Carboplatin and Pacitaxol are having any effect on my 3 small liver metastases. I feel frightened by my bowel issues and terrified it will happen again.
Anyone else experiencing terrible constipation like this, with back pain.
What did you take that was effective?
I
