Thank you for your suggestions, I have an appt. with the radiation Dr. on Dec. 1st and this will help. I am very worried about my intestinal track be damaged with scar tissue and narrowing.
For years starting 15 years ago I had proctitis though was told it was ulcerative colitis to start with and had to use cannas for years till insurance company told me I should only need to use for 4 to 6 weeks. So, asked Gastroenterologist and he said try stopping and had no trouble stopping, and no troubles since. Prior to stopping trouble with dysentery off an on very loose stools and gas daily. Last colonoscopy stated it was totally gone. Hate the thought of going back words with radiation.
Will be bringing that up also, because not sure they were aware of that history of mine.

@terradean That is a significant history involving your intestinal tract that I would think radiation oncology will want to know. That will help the radiation oncologist figure out what is best for you and minimize side effects. It's good that your appointment is coming up so soon so that you will have the answers that you need to make your decisions about radiation.
