Hi Heids,  Congratulations on a year post treatment. Did you have any surgery, or just chemorad? Mine was quite close to the "back end" in the end. Chemorad was a big deal for me as I do not have a family yet and infertility was basically guaranteed if I went down that root. I also read alot about how radiation can cause worse chronic ULAR symptoms. I ended up just having ULAR surgery with a coloanal anastomosis. My temporary iliostomy was reversed last week. I am glad I didn't go with chemoradiation as it turns out the large polyp had "only" a low grade T1 cancer in it and the surgery obtained large margins so no further cancer treatment at this stage. Still a bit of recovery to go, as I am pretty much glued to the toilet atm, but I am told that is normal and should improve over the coming weeks/months. I hope you keep well.  X Nic ... View more
