Congratulations! Believe or not, the five year mark will be here for you before you know.
Ahh, yes, the secret side effects 😉. I had uncontrollable diarrhea for years. I still do occasionally. What has helped me is eating 3 meals a day, being careful of what I eat - no onions, garlic, spicy food. I haven’t been able to eat chocolate since my last chemo treatment, which has gotten easier over the years.
Have you tried pelvic floor exercises? They definitely help. You look for exercises on line or your doctor might be able to prescribe physical therapy. I really hope this helps.

Thank you for your feedback. Many side effects that come & go over time!
At one time I needed to know where rest rooms were at all times when going out! That’s gotten better but still have some bowel & bladder issues. Do you experience any occasional itching or irritation in the vulvar area? I guess this is the new normal for me!
Any feedback is helpful! Thanks for listening!
