After having a radical hystorectomy, chemo and radiation treatment, (last treatment was May 21, 2001)I still continue to have diaherria and have to go to the bathroom continuously (I almost feel like I'm pregnant again, to bad I know that's impossible), is anyone else having or had this problem?

I had an illiostomy and later a bowel resection. This was a result of radiation damage. My doc prescribes a powder called Cholestyramine that acts as a "bile salts binder" I have to take it once a day in juice, but it has stopped the runs... You may have some intestinal damage too. Ask your oncologist or internist...they should be able to help you (oh, an added advantage it a major lowering of cholesterol in the body-I have only lost about 20 lbs, but I went from a size 22 to a size 14 as a result)0
