I have to go to the bathroom several times a day since I had my radiation treatment?

Question

Hello . Since I received radiation therapy for prostate cancer, I have to have several bowel movements a day. Is this normal? I never had this kind of problem before the treatments.

Hello sir, I am sorry to read about your troubles! However, I strongly advise you to contact your nurse navigator, as she will be in a better position than anyone else to assess the situation and contact the other members of the treatment team to help you manage your side effects. Unfortunately this type of situation is beyond what can be addressed on this platform. Sincerely Tom Samaha, pharmacist
