25 Year Old Diagnosed With Cervical Adenocarcioma. Blood In Stool After Chemotherapy And Radiation. Have Weight Loss. Any Suggestions?
I m 25 years old. Just went through chemo and radiation for 2b cervical adenocarcinoma ... that was diagnosed last oct and ended this january. I had cisplatin as my chemo drug, and had external radiation as well as tandem and ring internal radation. I have had mucousy stools for about a month. Then came blood ON my stools for a couple of weeks, along with several several blood clots. The blood went away and the mucous turned to a sticky like glue stick consistency. Then today i noticed these what i can only describe as chunks of what looks like onion skin in my stool. I used to weigh 98 but am down to 93lbs. I have had no energy as of late and have been terribly depressed. Any insight?

HELLOFRIEND,
Well i think you are having a radiation proctitis ,you need not worry for it as it is quite common.You can go for a steroid enema.If it persists ,I think you can go for a proctoscopy/ colonoscopy.
You need to have gyne-oncologic check up every 3 months,to know whether the disease is controlled or progressive.You need to have healthy nutritional diet with multivitamins and antioxidants Good luck bye
