SBRT finished, now have proctitis

My RO did not explain that about the colon and blood vessels. All they told me is that I would tolerate SBRT better. I had the cyberknife SBRT. I was thinking about Brachy before SBRT. Now, I’m not so sure I made the correct decision. I use the prep H. I have hydrocortisone suppositories. Takin Metamucil. Doing sitz. I’m ready for this torment to be over.

Metamucil may actually be irritating you. Perhaps switch to MiraLax - osmotic which takes on water.
My go to is the old fashioned Mineral Oil - you go smooth and easy, no pain whatsoever. Recommended to me by GI when I developed a fissure - oh man, that was a killer!! All the fiber I was taking made it much worse. Your situation sounds similar. Best,
