@samclembeau Thank you for kindly replying and sharing with me. So glad to hear you did not have to under go surgery. Surgery is something I hope I can avoid, not sure I will under go if this treatment is not successful. The external piece seems to be the same as before treatment, maybe a bit smaller. In the beginning before my colonoscopy, I thought it was a hemorrhoid, never did I think it was a protruding tumor. During radiation treatments I actually thought it had gone away, but I think it was just hiding behind all the inflammation in the anal area. Once radiation stopped and the inflammation calmed down I discovered it was still there. As for my sphincter muscles, no they are not the same. I hope as time goes on that will improve and I will have more control again.

Thank you again for sharing with me. I wish you the best in years to come!
