Well, after having my computer lock up on me five times and my not really being in the mood to fight it any longer I decided to log on using my laptop. I think that I will forgo everything that I had written in my other attempts and just give you my doctor's report.
He confirmed that part of my problem is "radiation proctitis", which is what I had suspected all along. The problem is that it is difficult to treat and is extremely resistant. He did a sigmoidoscopy on me, which hurt more than it normally would because the radiation caused a lot of scaring on my large intestine. He said that it looked irritated and was narrower than it should be because of all the scar tissue.
He wrote me a prescription for some suppositories that are suppose to relieve some of the soreness. He also referred me to a clinic that does colonoscopies, but I could not get an appointment until October 9th So until then I will not know anything more specific. Even though I am not particularly looking forward to the colonoscopy I would like to know what is wrong and to see if there is anything that can be done to improve my condition.
Well, I am tired, sore and frustrated so I think that I will just say good night.
