History of rectal cancer and no BM for 5 days
I was diagnosed 9 years ago with rectal cancer had chemo/radiation and a resection. My bowels have been a mess since then going to the bathroom many times a day. However recently things seem to have changed and now have not had a BM for 5 days which is crazy. Has anybody else ever had this happen? Trying not to freak but of course I'm getting nervous.

Nothing wrong with nerves
They keep us on the ball.
5 days without a BM is a long time; especially when you are most regular.
I would not hesitate to go down to the Doctor's and get myself checked out.
Hopefully it is only a problem with constipation. Good luck!
