Dear Leanne,
Sorry you have this disease too. I am hoping you will get through your treatment without too much complications. I had 33 days of radiation. I see some people only had 28 days of radiation. I ended up with severe radiation proctitis. I suffered for a year and a half until I switched to a new gastro doctor who did an ablation during a colonoscopy. I should have done that sooner. The ablation got me out of diapers and it stopped the uncontrollable BMs. Hope you are doing well.
God Bless you, Elizabeth

Hi Leanne;

Thank you very much for your support. I have gone through exactly what you have, so if you have any questions, be sure and ask me.

Love Barb

OMG! 35 days of radiation treatment??? I am sorry! I only had 28…barely made it thru the last of them….no way I could have done 35! But I do have to wonder if it would have been better for killing the cancer to have had more….hmmmmm….

Glad you made it thru that….
