My sister had her cancerous womb removed in 1983. Followed by chemo/radiotherapy. Last year she was diagnosed with intestinal cancer, the consultant pointed out that this could have been caused by the radiotherapy she had in 1983. She had the affected section removed and lived with a stoma bag for 6 months, with radiotherapy treatment. In December 2021 her intestines were reconnected but her toilet habits have not improved since that time. Mostly she has to relieve herself often throughout the day. When there is less frequency, she is walking away from the toilet when she has to rush back and go again.

Has anyone any suggestions or advice for her?
