Fecal incontinence is an awful thing to deal with. I lived with it for almost 2 years before having colostomy surgery. Mine was from radiation to the anal area. Is he going to have a colostomy? It really gave me back my life.

Dad is 82. His surgeon told him the surgery (colostomy) would be very hard on him, and he doesn't want to do it. So he is living with the cancer, and we are going through the diapers. I guess that's how it's going to be.

Ugh. Good to know since I’ll be starting chemo radiation next week for anal cancer. I’m planning to breeze right through it. 🤣. Any tips will be very welcome!

I read that radiation to anal area can affect reversal and symptoms, did do tell you that. ?
