    Radiation
    I have stage IV rectal, wit no organ mets. Currently in radiation, the first four weeks were uneventful, but this last week took the pain to new levels, but even that is limited to bowel movements. I am surprised your HMO doc feels that way...

    What you mean as new levels Buck?
    Cheers!

    Not sure if it's the way my onc feels, or the radiation oncs at my HMO. My surgeon said the same thing. Still my medical onc is all for the referral and trying to find something that works. If radiation is a possibility I'll be wanting to hear from folks like you and pepe who have had radiation. Thanks, Traci

    Radiation
    Bowel movements are excruciating, having to pass through an internal sunburn is not pleasant. It takes me most of the day now to recover.

    Yikes!
    That's awful Buck, but I guess if it gets rid of the cancer and heals it will be worth it. Sending out cool soothing vibes for you right now. Traci
