Struggling with Rectal Discharge after stoma surgery. Help!

AJLevvy

Hi,

I have rectal cancer. Last week I had stoma surgery and am now recovering pre ChemoRadio.

I am struggling with rectal discharge. I seem to have to pass something quite regularly (once or twice an hour). It is uncomfortable. I just wondered if anyone had any advice on how to deal with it? I'm 47, fit and healthy. I do Pilates etc. The problem is that I'm finding this debilitating in that I don't want to leave the house for fear of an accident!!

  • Hi AJLevvy,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry you haven't received a reply up to now - but, if you haven't already, then do give your doctor a call about this. They will be best placed to advise specific to your situation.

    Meanwhile if others here have advice to offer then hopefully they'll be along soon.

    I hope the forum can offer some support to you, and we're always here if you need it.

    Wishing you all the best,
