Looking for others to share their thoughts please. Tumor removed 5.5 weeks ago. Chemo starts in 10 days. My energy and activity is fine and all good. I am having issues with clustering frequent bowel openings close together, small but formed stools. Then some leakage when passing wind in the night and day. After a particularly bad weekend (last week) I went back to chicken white fish pasta rice etc. put carrots in some marshmallows for binding and trying to restrict fluids around meal times. Not seeing any progress. Is this LARS or is it too early. doing some pelvic floor exercises to try and strengthen muscles. anyone out there have similar experiences. Nurses just say try and find something that works for you but struggling to achieve thst. have outpatient appointment with consultant in 9 days to discuss.
Thanks for your help.
