Uterine Papillary Serous Carcinoma: What treatments did you have?

I had 5 radiation treatments in May 2021 after a total hysterectomy. About a month later I began to have bouts of diarrhea. It has gotten better but it's been 10 months since the last brachytherapy and I still have loose stools almost every day along with the urgent need to go to the bathroom. It has gotten better but my doctor says it is very uncommon to have this long term side effect. Does anyone else still have this problem? Thanks

Hi @gormie, loose stools and urgent need is a common side effect after radiation for a gynecologic cancer. But I can see you're concerned about still dealing with this 10 months after radiation. I'm tagging @bluemeade7 @naturegirl5 @embeth99 @goldengirl2 @polkagal @ejrdevries @ejohn @rose53 to bring them into this discussion and get their experiences and tips.
