My mom at 88 years old had colon surgery for stage IV colon cancer that had perforated her colon. Lynph nodes were fine though and they removed a section of her bowel. This was in March. She was fine for awhile but then developed a mucus ball and had to finally use Milk of Magnesia to get it to move. That was a few weeks ago. Since then, she has had diarrhea (massive and uncontrollable) twice and mucus leakage constantly. So much so that she had to wear a pad. Her doc says its normal but how she is getting depressed and isolating herself as she doesn't want accidents. She lives alone in senior housing not assisted living.
