I had treatment yesterday and am still on the pump until tomorrow morning.
My first bowel movement this morning was hard and fairly big around.
When I wiped I had a small amount of bright red blood streaked on the paper. And my butthole was a little sore after.
Do you think this is something I should call the doctor about or just wait until next appointment.
Little background I have rectum cancer that's about 1 1/2" up from the butthole that bled until I started chemo.
Also the chemo seems to play havoc with my butthole. About 5 days out after chemo my butthole gets real sore when I have a bowel movement. Almost like it's gotten smaller. Then the itching starts. I make sure I'm clean but my god at the itching. Sometimes I break down and scratch and I think my eyes roll back in my head it feels so good.
The doc asks every visit about bleeding since I started the avastin. Just wondering whether to see if it continues or go ahead and call.
