I had radiation for seven weeks. IMRT. That was about 12 years ago. I just never had any side effects from it. It was over a longer time than yours, they spread the daily dosage over a longer period. I know some people back then said they were tired after the radiation, but I didn’t hear from people, that long ago, that had diarrhea.

These days they do it in a shorter period of time and it is tough on some people. I’ve heard of the diarrhea problem, others have it.

Did you have a SpaceOAR or equivalent put in before having radiation?

If you search for diarrhea at the top level, you might be able to find messages that discussed solutions people have found.

Nope, no space OAR, I guess since they took out my prostate in March, no need for the spacing material.
