@aprilrain516, I hope you saw the helpful reply from @raellen.
April, how are you doing? Are you experiencing leakage side effects?

@aprilrain516 Hello! Thank you for sharing. I did 7 weeks straight of radiation, 35 treatments. I am now 10 weeks post my last treatment. The leakage you speak about cleared up post treatment, I really don’t have anything to offer you there other than give it time. Our bodies are going through a lot with this radiation, it’s going to take sometime to heal. During the process, I dealt with a lot of diarrhea, I took Imodium. It would only help ease it a bit. Things have gotten a lot better for me now, occasionally I have a day with diarrhea, but most days I’m pretty much normal, just have more than one bowl moment a day. To start my sphincter muscles did not do there job to well, but even that has improved these past few weeks. My only complaint is that piece that is extruding outward, it’s tender and can be painful. Stay positive and be good to yourself, it will get better. Hugs!
