Hernia surgery scheduled for April 8,...it is a subcoastal hernia and surgeon thinks liver is trying to "ooze" out between rib bones .
Now I see the blood ...no mistaking..bright red in water...pooled around stool..OMG, to have a place I can say that and not create social disgrace.
I am calling dr tomorrow....DH is a quiet, suffer mentally and physically in silence type of guy....tries to make me think he doesn't get worried--doesn't want to worry me, but we both know better without speaking it.
Been reading all your posts for months....now hoping to see if I'm crazy or should prepare myself for rectal recurrence.
I don't want to get blindsided at dr office down the road so I don't fall apart in front of Billy (thank you again POG451)....would rather know now...according to what I have researched....blood (red) in stool is a significant sign of rectal recurrence.
Billy had LAR last April...anastomosis leak ....reversal 9 weeks ago...still lives in bathroom with remodeled plumping.
I am hoping any rectal cancer clubber will set my thoughts straight...good news or bad....I'm better controlling my emotions if I prepare myself
Feel like I actually know soooo many of you that I follow......
