I have no colon or rectum. Hence the pelvic radiotherapy that I started last week, won't have the devastating effect you are experiencing. I may suffer ileum damage because some might be in the radiation field. Best of luck. See my webpage for more information should you need to have a colostomy/ileostomy see http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jmwest/ileo.htm0
