I’m not comfortable or confident enough to go on long walks because of the radiation induced diarrhea. Hope it goes away when I finish treatment.

…all the more incentive to make your walks “brisk”….sorry I couldn’t resist…

Seriously though, have you asked your doctor to recommend something to alleviate that side effect?….that has got to annoying….to say the least.

I also had some diarrhea with my radiation treatment. Usually wasn't too bad, but the last couple weeks I didn't feel comfortable getting too far from home. Luckily I have a treadmill so was able to do something. It cleared up pretty quickly after the treatment ended, enough that I went on a trip involving cross country flights 5 days post treatment with no issues.
