Re: anastomotic inflammation or recurrence? Help!

Debbie, thank you so much! I just try to calm down,and also asked my GI doctor and oncologist, they said it's small erosions, most likely inflammation, I do feel much better after asking many people about it :wink:

anastomotic inflammation or recurrence? Help!

I had my 1 year post surgery colonoscopy today, the doctor found inflammation at the anastomotic site, and he did biopsy for that. I am scared what if it is recurrence? did any one have similar experience? Inflammation at connection site? Is it common? Thank you for any input!

Still loose stool, 9 months after surgery

I am 9 months after surgery, and most of the time still have loose/watery stool, not diarea, just kind of more water in it. I don't poop too much, once a day in the morning. I don't know if it is normal? anyone experience the same thing as me?
