Male, Diagnosed stage 3 b colo rectal adenocarcinoma July 17 at 42
Chemo and xeloda and Rad Sept 17, Had the LAR Late Nov 17 then had my chemo and reversal Early july 18
I had my 6 month follow ups, Flex sig late November and then CT scan mid Dec and attempted a colonoscopy that week due to some legal nonsense of having a chaperone home, not a ride service.
The two saline solutuions for flushing my system for the exam irrittated my system as i got things running htrough me in 2 hours typical IBS symtoms.
then a week later my attempt at 3 day prep for the aborted colonoscopy with clear fluids , then the gavilite prep, which after i got home famished and i ate too much too soon and with no stomach acid from the prep promptly ate too much and got a bowel obstruction or blockage and a trip to the ER, which, finally i started to pass again about a few minutes before they were going to run a tube down my nose to clear everything, still didnt clear completely for a few more days.
Well since then its either im too slow and stopped up or IBS type issues.. i have cut back on my Metamucial from a table spoon every 12 hours to just a table spoon every 24 hours, to a teaspoon , 2 times a day, i am scheduling GI visit this week or next,the CT scan was ok for them as they did not see anything except slight diverticulosis which is different from itis.
Thanks!
