Uterine Papillary Serous Carcinoma: What treatments did you have?

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.
Gormie, you may also be interested in this related discussion:

I think what you're saying is it's not uncommon even 10 months out to still deal with loose stools and strong urge. I'm lucky as I had grade 2 stage 1A cancer with no involvement anywhere else. It was caught very early I think. Only 13% involvement burrowing into the uterus. I'm being treated at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and think the radiologist and whole department are wonderful. But it's still worrisome when they are surprised I'm still having the stool issues. Off for a CT scan tomorrow just to take a look.
Cheers,
Bev
