A. I didn't get any diet restrictions with my Salvage Radiation Therapy, not sure if they give any for the primary treatment radiation. It's going to be important to be as "regular" as you can so I eat mainly fruits, veggies and nuts.

B. The radiation gave me a kind of burning sensation in the anus and made me tired. I have an ongoing battle with a hemorrhoid that flared up as well. That was pretty much the extent of it for me, those things disappeared in about a month after completion. I was told I could expect diarrhea as well, I only had one or two bouts, given that it might just be coincidence. Everyone is different.

Are you considering a Space Oar or some other type of protectant?
