Quality of life after rectal cancer treatment is a major concern for patients and their families. In this informative video, Dr. Sandeep Nayak, a leading surgical oncologist at MACS Clinic, provides a detailed explanation of what life looks like post-treatment.

Many patients undergoing rectal cancer treatment worry not only about surviving cancer but also about how their lives will be afterward—physically, emotionally, and socially. Dr. Nayak discusses how the quality of life is impacted by various factors such as the stage of the cancer, location of the tumor, and type of surgery performed.

One of the most important considerations is whether or not a permanent colostomy (stoma bag) is required. For most patients—more than 95%—Dr. Nayak and his team at MACS Clinic are able to perform surgeries that preserve the anal sphincter, avoiding the need for a permanent bag. For those with a stoma, it takes a few months to adjust, and with support and guidance, patients can live comfortably.

For those who undergo low anterior resection (LAR), a common surgery in rectal cancer treatment, there's an adjustment period known as LAR syndrome. While it may take up to 1.5 to 2 years for bowel habits to return to near-normal, most patients adapt well and regain a high quality of life.

Dr. Nayak emphasizes that there is no specific diet required for rectal cancer survivors. However, adopting a healthy, balanced diet, incorporating regular physical activity, and maintaining mental well-being through support systems, counseling, or mindfulness practices go a long way in ensuring a good post-treatment life.

By the end of this video, you'll better understand that life after rectal cancer is not just possible but can be fulfilling, with the right approach and mindset. Whether you've recently been diagnosed or are supporting someone who has, this video provides hope, clarity, and practical insights.
