I finished my Radiotherapy and hormone therapy in April last year. I also had high dose rate brachytherapy in February last year before my radiotherapy started.
I have been doing ok with side effects this past year but still feel a bit tired and my bowel habits are unpredictable.
Something strange happened today.
I had a bowel movement last night, then again this morning. Then at lunchtime I had to go urgently and had diahorrea. Then around 6pm I urgently needed to go again but it turned out to be mainly gas. When I wiped there was blood on the paper and the pan looks like it had been sprayed with blood which I had passed in what I thought was gas. Blood was fresh and never had this before. Any ideas what I might be? Don’t feel 100% and my mind is racing. Will call helpline tomorrow as closed now but feeling worried.
Hello Granda Pig
If this is a new symptom and it's continuing and it's fresh blood I think a call to NHS 111 or a visit to A & E is on the cards.
It's probably something and nothing but best not left.
Best wishes - Brian.
