I am writing for my mom, Margie, who could use a lot of support but is not quite ready to join, herself. She was diagnosed with colon cancer two years ago. Dr. Remzis team at the Cleveland clinic removed her colon and she had an ileostomy bag. After about a year, her cancer spread to the liver. Last week she had the tumors removed from her liver, gallbladder removed and finally had her take down procedure of the j pouch also at the Cleveland clinic. After five days she was sent home although she was tender and bloated. The night she went home she threw up 4 times and my dad took her to the ER where they determined she had a blockage and she was sent back to the clinic. At the ER she had an NG tube put in. Initially the NG tube helped with the bloating but now the drainage is dark brown and thick. The Drs are saying she may have c diff and we are waiting to see what tests say. I'm really concerned about the blockage and infection and was wondering if anyone had similar experience to provide comfort?
Thanks
Leah, concerned daughter of Margie.
