Hi have been offered radiation to stop the bleeding in my colon

It worked for me. My stools were bigger, I stopped passing blood when I went to the toilet abd the tumour shrank from 4cm to 1cm

Iv had a lot of blood passing and clots there trying traexamic acid for now to stop the bleeding they saying the radiation mite not work 

I thought it was to try and stop bleeding other people on here have had it for the same place

Hi 

I think they go in through the groin and once they have identified the blood vessels that supply the tumour they cut the supply off . I think maybe with glue type substance . Something like that anyway and I think you will cope well with it .

What day is that happening again?
