About this booklet
Most people have side effects during treatment for bowel cancer. Usually these gradually improve over a few weeks or months after treatment has ended. But sometimes side effects do not go away, or they start months or years after treatment has ended. These are called late effects.
This booklet explains some of the possible late effects of bowel cancer treatment and how they can be improved and managed.
