My dad has stage 4 colon cancer with spread - lymph notes and lung but also liver too. He’s struggling a bit at the minute with keeping positive. Has a lot of Diarrhoea and bloating which is causing a lot of discomfort. We were on movicol for constipation previously. Has anyone else had to deal with this? What to do about it?  

  • Hi  

    I am so sorry to hear that . Has your day had any bowel Surgery or reviewed recently ?

    The other question that comes to mind , is he having treatment ? 
    It’s very easy in a stage 4 situation for one drug to creat a problem , or  electrolyte be knocked off with treatment etc . He may also require a surgical review but please give the helpline a call . 0808 808 0000. The staff should be able to help you know the best way to approach getting him help .

    Take care ,

    Court
