I am recovering from rectal cancer

I am, thankfully, recovering from Rectal Cancer. I had the Papillion treatment. Which was fantastic. 

I'm now heading to my fourth 3 monthly check ups. I have an MRI this Thursday. Then I will have sigmoidoscopy in November. This then goes to an MDT meeting in Liverpool for analysis.

I enjoy a well made cappuccino (who doesn't) but I noticed when I do have one, it goes straight through me with dire consequences the relegate me to my bathroom.  My question is, is this normal?

Thank you in advance

    Prior to getting diagnosed with cancer in February of '24, I only ever drank coffee when out and about.,especially Cappuccino.  It appears the when I drink coffee or strong real ales, I have discharges from my back passage.  I was just wondering, given the  fact that Coffee is a natural relaxative/stimulant, if this sudden reaction is related or linked to rectal cancer.
