@colleenyoung Hi Colleen
Still no official diagnosis or cause determined. Except that is most likely due to bowel damage (radiation? not sure).
This latest surgery is still healing, and I still have a drainage tube after nearly 3 weeks. One Doc mentioned "stuck poop" as a possibility.
Treatment plan: eat better, move more, lose weight, control my type 2 diabetes.

@briang1958 That sounds truly awful and painful - feel for you!! What do these surgeries involve - incision/drainage?
Seems to me that healing would be impossible in the presence of so much fecal bacteria day in and out.
Has anyone mentioned povidone iodine suppositories for daily use? They use them sometimes in transrectal prostate biopsies; inserted one hour before, it prevents 99.5% of infections…please ask!!
