Hello, I am Joan Marasco from North Providence, Rhode Island. My husband Jim ( and I ) had hormone treatment in October, 2019, then after a two month wait, we attended 44 radiation treatments, concluding in February, 2020. Jim, age 73 years, experienced a progressive tiredness and instant incontinence. After several of these instances, I convinced him to use the protective un eder ware. Finally, this month urination has returned to normal, however the bowel movements have not. I have not read that bowel incontinence has been a consequence of radiation, however, it has affected Jim. Today, May, 2020, Jim is still dealing with this issue. I have tried a soup and bread diet, a normal healthy diet - fish and vegetables, a heartier steak and salad diet, nothing has worked. Has anyone else experienced this? any solutions? My mom used white rice when anyone had dysentery. I am going to try that alone. Thanks, Joan
