Recurrance of uterine cancer in the vaginal cuff

I had radiation January of 2018. The after effect of the radiation on my rectumwas excruciating the dr gave me protofoam and butt cream plus a variety of other things nothing helped it just took months to go away and heal. When I went to see my gastroenterologist I mentioned this and he gave me nifedipine what a life saver. But recently it came back I just wondered if anyone else had had the same problem? Burning and pain when I have a bowel movement. Also I am using the dilator but lately I had to go to a smaller size as it was getting painful to insert.

After 3 rounds of brachytherapy I had diarrhea, but only 1 horrible painful day. It gradually went away. I did not have any lasting side effects so far, but I understand that some can develop years later. My bowel problems slowly resolved, but it is still a new normal for me. I am sorry that you are going through this.
