Bathroom talk

Postby Trying » Sun Jan 20, 2019 5:29 pm

Ok a bit of a bathroom issue which seems to be a normal thing here. I used to bleed going to the bathroom which all stopped about a month into chemo. We credited it to the tumor shrinking. Today i am frelimg a bit swollen and bleeding when going to the Bathroom today. This scares me my tumor grew. I know none of you can tell whats going on in my body but has this issue happened to any of you and ended up being nothing? Thank you

My bleeding went away about a month in and then reappeared a few times pre surgery. I am not sure what caused it but my tumor went from about 3 cm down to .1 cm so it definitely shrunk and stayed shrunk.

Hope this helps,

Dave
