Is it ok to force someone to defecate when they have colon cancer


Is it ok to force someone to defecate when they have colon cancer?
He took a dump but there's little blood in his feces. He has difficulty defecating. Is it okay to force him to take a dump when he has colon cancer? I've used suppository by the way.

The patient's oncologist will know what to recommend to keep the stool soft or to encourage a bowel movement. He should call his doctor, nurse, or nurse practitioner. It's pretty routine.

force never Suggest attempt always, bm is toxic, if you don't dump you throw it up, who wants sh## breath...drink prune juice, drink water, keep moving around, colon cancer in final stages you stop eating so it just liquid stool..surgery chemo? are options..
