I did the radiation treatment for my prostate cancer at REED city Cancer Clinic in Michigan. After that procedure was done over several weeks I found out that the treatment had an adverse effect on my rectal muscle which is still a life changing issue for me ever after 8 years living with the rectal issue. I don’t have the control of my bowels when I sense I have to go. I better be close to a bathroom or I’m in trouble. I need to always be close to a bathroom now. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone! I’ll be 80 this year and the issue is very confining. What can I do to eliminate this issue. Should I look for compensation even though it’s been 8 years. Or can it be fixed?

It would be a tough decision but you might want to look into a colostomy. At least it would allow you to be more mobile.
