No, I’m sure it wasn’t but maybe now your RO can make some suggestions for a better outcome?
Diarrhea is a VERY common SE with radiation but usually occurs toward the latter stages of treatment. Yours is unusual for sure…

The only comment I heard was on Google AI. It was everybody’s different. The RO wants my urologist to see if he knows of anything, I have to wait until July. I’m sure he’ll mention the gel spacer. So we’ll see I guess. I’d like to be cured and not on ADT, then again I’m 77 not in great shape, I love what little bit of a life I have. I’ve been in chronic pain for over 20 years. I have chronic prostatitis, peripheral neuropathy, proctalgia fugax, gastroparesis, back problems, spinal stenosis. I try not to take too much pain meds only tramadol and Tylenol. Sorry for telling you my sob stories but that’s my life, some good days, some bad days and cancer topped the list. Thanks again for listening.
