Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
27 year is an young age to have cancer which also can give symptoms of uncontrollable bowel movements and mucus in particular.
Hence the cause of having such a problem is most probably procto-colitis.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
First of all consult your Family Doctor for clinical evaluation, examination, some investigations like that of stool and blood and have preliminary treatment with Metronidazole and so on.
If this does not control the problem, you may need an opinion of a Gastroenterologist, colonoscopy and biopsy and further tests as may be needed.
This will give the most proper diagnosis and appropriate management.
Till then take probiotics, home-made fresh foods, boiled and cooled water.
I find this answer helpful
