Terrified. Fed up

Hi,

I've been constipated on and off for over the years, the last 6 months have been even worse and I was just passing blood and no stools at all, finally I plucked up the courage to go to the doctors who ordered a colonoscopy for me, they were unable to carry this out as no bowel preps would work, so they carried out a Sigmoidoscopy instead this showed I had a tumour in my rectum and was restricted so even the camera could go no further, this was two days ago,

im being referred urgently to hospital but how do I cope with constipation until then or how will I even be able to go the toilet if I'm restricted, I'm in agony, 

I've nobody to ask , thanks 

  • Hi there ...

    Oh dear, that sounds horrendous. . If I were you I'd phone your GP tomorrow, and ask for an emergency appointment .. don't be fobbed off ... it's Your health .. so ask them what your ment to do as your in pain .. or 111 and see what they say .. but I wouldn't leave it .. can't believe you've not been given something .. you must be scared to eat much ...

    Sorry I can't help more, but wer just "normal" people with cancer or looking after someone with cancer .. and wer not medically qualified ... maybe @ ask the nurses may pick your thread up, and give you more advice then I can ...let us know how you go ...  Chrissie  x
