So I'm 10 weeks post treatment and here's it is, my bowel movements are still "funny shaped"  doctor says I'm still early in recovery and not to worry, ok they know best. I still take miralax & stool softener every night, doctors are ok with that but I think my colon shrunk from radiation!  Anyone else have this issue?

    I had thin, ribbon-like stools right after treatment ended (when I wasn't having diarrhea).  I think it's pretty common.

    8 Days Post Treatment...Poos are...

    Very small RIBBON flat and bowels change daily...loose...constipated the next. Frustrating...
