a non invasive cancerous polyp. She has a drain and a temp illoscimy bag so
that her rect can heal. It has been 4 months and she is still draining puss
from the infection. The dr.has periodically prescribed antibiotics,then stops.
Shouldn't have the perferation been healed by now?
Sorry this is a question for a surgeon. I'm not a surgeon but a medical oncologist & radiation therapist. I strongly suggest that you direct your question to an expert of (gastrointestinal) surgery here since it is outside my area of expertise here.
