tired of crapping my pants while walking the dog. and NO, I'm not going back to diapers!!!
Aww Teletubby,
It’s one of the unfortunate side effects of the treatment isn’t it? I strangely swung completely the opposite way which I can assure you isn’t much fun when you have a radiated butt!! I had to take stool softeners right the way through & just over 2 years on I still take 1 a day. Have you been supplied with loperamide? I know for many that have suffered with diarrhoea it’s been their saving grace. I had to wear pant liners throughout & after treatment for a while as even though I didn’t have diarrhoea I did suffer with some leakage. Not much comfort at the minute but it will eventually get better. Hope you see some improvement soon.
Nicola
