Since having a re-section for Bowel Cancer. I am suffering with a number of problems with both discharge from my bottom and Stoma lump, which has slowly grown in size from almost a flat stomach to large `Mound` around the Stoma area.

  I am extremely concerned that when I have the reversal operation, I will not have any control of my bowel, as I`m unable to control the mucus discharge at any time. I try squeezing my bottom and cheeks together, but just ejects the mucus at any time? It is not weeping out, but a single discharge just like going toilet. Is there anything I can do stopping this maybe an exercise or medication/treatment?

 Also concerned about the large lump that I have around the stoma which is now approximately 140 to 150 mm in size.

I have spoken to my GP but they do not have sufficient knowledge about the condition.

Hoping that someone can offer a suggestion.

Many Thanks
