As I have reported before on my husband. Colon cancer 2 years ago, surgery 2 years ago removing 14 inches of lower colon/rectum, bag for many months. Reversal last April. His problem now is that he has severe burning just inside his rectum. Has anyone had this problem and if so, what could it be. I beg him to go have doctor to check him out but he will not agree. Last colonoscopy he had in July, doctor pentrated thru and he had to continue to wear bag for 3 more months. Any advice will be welcomed. Thanks everyone for the Christmas cards, it has been a surprise when I open the mail on where it will be from. Thanks Santa Craig for the CD-I have really enjoyed it. Merry Christmas to all.

    Try Nupercanal is OTC or any
    Try Nupercanal is OTC or any other brand of zinc cream. One coats their hind quarters and Nupercanal releives the burn and the next time one goes the sore area is covered by the cream. I had to do this for 3 times and about 4 days each time to relieve the issue.

    Best Always, mike
