Last December I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. I had surgery the removed some of my colon and now I wear a bag. I have frequent bowel movements right after eating. I have counted 10 to 15 times a day! This has put a stop to eating out or eating in the company of others. If I need to go somewhere, I schedule when I eat, I won't eat before going to an appointment. I started chemo in March last year and am still having treatments, but they have reduced my drugs considerably. The doctor told me I will be on chemo the rest of my life, however long that may be. When I first started chemo I had severe diarrhea, but now it isn't near as bad. I wish I only had 1 bowel movement a day like I used to before all this unpleasantness came to be!
