Five days had op for stage 1 rectal cancer using trans anal minimally invasive surgery Tamis. Still feeling pain in bottom. Is this normal or any suggestions?
Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing pain - hopefully it has eased a little since posting here.
Do discuss this with your doctor as they will be best placed to advise.

I had 2 tamis surgeries in 2019 prior to chemo radiotherapy. But I dont remember pain lasting long. Do you not have a colorectal nurse assigned to you. Give her a wee call and run i. By her they are really great
