Hi, If anyone has any knowledge/experience on this I would really appreciate it. My Mum has primary peritoneal cancer, diagnosed April 2022. It has recurred more than once, but she remains responsive to chemo every time, with the tumours always described as stable post treatment and CA marker consistently

Dear ladies, anyone experienced bowel obstruction while on Caelyx/Carbo? I just had my third infusion and already experienced bloating of belly and heavy cramps and vomitting after second infusion if I ate someting complicated but this time cannot keep any even small and simple food inside.

hey does anybody else have recurring bowel obstructions due to adhesions???? Had 4 laparotomy’s and several interventions very fed up of it all

Could this be symptoms of bowel obstruction?

It made my osteoarthritis hugely worse - especially the OA pain that was so bad that I reached for co-dydramol.. that constipated me, which in turn led to a probable partial bowel obstruction. I also developed an UTI.

Was on and off it because of various things to do with my blood's but it was working until I got a bowel obstruction. Which is where I'm at, at the moment. In hospital, tube in stomach draining away what I can't digest. So no bowel movement of my own accord.

I too am feeling a little better, I did go to the hospital in the end, it seems I keep getting partial bowel obstruction and it eventually clears itself, I’ve been told in future I must go straight to a/e as one day it may not clear, I have adhesions and it’s causing strictures in the bowel.

Last year he was hospitilised for a bowel obstruction. I think since then hes developed an anxiety around constipation. Hes tried every laxative on planet earth and is obsessed with his stomach. He tells me his stomach controls his day and doesnt allow him to socialise as much.

As i side note i had an unrelated xray done recently where the dr confirmed on my left side it looks like there is either gas or stool in which case would this not be classed as a bowel obstruction?

Hello ladies I am 5 weeks since bowel obstruction surgery and doing well. I ended up in A & E again earlier this week with chest pain on my right side & right shoulder. The hotline said I need it checked as could be a clot.

any experience to share? Thank you in advance

Hi, I haven’t posted in a long while but appreciate reading everyone’s advice and support to everyone else. I had 3 attempts at surgery last year including the last with Christina F but all were unsuccessful due to extensive miliary disease on the bowel. I went back on 2 chemos so I could start on

The abdominal pain got significantly worse at the start of this year and I ended up in hospital as I'd been throwing up bile etc - thought I had a bowel obstruction or something similar.

Hi everyone, I'm an MSc Student at the university of Strathclyde, studying Clinical Health Psychology. I'm currently looking for people based in the UK to take part in my study that is investigating the potential links between colon/bowel cancer and insomnia/sleep issues. My study has been linked

I’m so worried I have colon cancer. I am 35. I never knew to pay attention to the size and shape of your poop until recently. When I did I noticed that it can be thinner or flat square shaped for several days and then go back to more round normal shape for a couple days then back to abnormal again. I

After all the worry, I have started getting appointments scheduled related to my treatment. My most shocking one is that I have been referred to a Colorectal Surgeon to discuss my "Appendix Pathology". My medical oncologist has said he has already been talking to both surgeons about my treatment plan
