Constipation - Rectal tumour

Hi

i have just been diagnosed with rectal cancer and am waiting on CT results to see it it has spread. My symptoms are really bad constipation and am going out of my mind! Anyone else suffer like this. I have taken lactulose but doesn't seem to be doing anything and although I get the urge it's hard to get out (sorry for tmi).

 

I'm fed up with feeling like this and the feeling of pressure is horrendous.

Help!

Wonderfull. Mix of with pure orange squash. As it does not taste very good. But it does work.All the best. Mariane.
