My wife had a colon resection on Sept. 21. It was done laperscoptly and she was home in three days. All biopsy's came back pre-cancerous.

The Dr's. said there was very little bleeding during the surgery and she is doing remarkably well. The issue for her is she has frequent bowel momments and they are bloody.

Dr.s say the frequent BM's are normal. Are they? Is the bleading normal? Her resection was very low in the colon close to the rectum.

Any insight is appreciated.

I am glad to hear your wife is doing well following her colon surgery. Frequent bowel movements are very normal as the system kicks in and, of course, with a shorter colon, things move much faster! As to the bleeding, I cannot advise but I would suggest that anything that causes concern should be referred to the doctor or team. After my husband had his surgery and treatment four years ago, I often had to contact one professional or another, depending on the problem.

Wishing you and your wife well.
