Welcome to our forum, Mike.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

It's not uncommon for cancer survivors to face long-term challenges from treatment. Regarding your bowel issues and incontinence, it's essential to discuss these concerns with your healthcare provider as they can offer tailored solutions such as dietary changes, medications, or exercises.

Hopefully, others who have had similar experiences will come along shortly to offer advice and support. That being said, if you feel like asking some questions to our team of nurses, they'd be happy to talk things over with you Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on this freephone 0808 800 4040.

Last but not least, please remember you're not alone, there is always someone here if you feel like a chat.

All the best,

Thank you for your reply.  The idea of excersising to help improve the muscles that control continence never occured to me.  Now I am carrying out pelvic floor excersises regularly and they are working, even after such a short time.

Many thanks
