Hi, sorry, this one is about the more unsavoury symptoms. I have found some small traces of blood when wiping after going to the loo, mostly back, but also a spot on front. Anyone else find this? Wondering at what point to be worried as right now I just see it as another bloody (pardon the pun) side effect of chemo. Thanks
Chemo is pretty harsh on your digestive system (& your gynae system too!), but I would call the helpline and let them know this is happening for peace of mind. They might be able to give you something that calms it down too. They are there to help, and no question is too insignificant for them. Either that, or your BCN.
