Does Radiation Treatment Cause Grayish And Discolored Stools?

Going thru prostrate cancer radiation treatment. Cyberknife. Today was my second treatment and afterwards during a bowl movement, I noticed in my stool, there was a section that was a whitish grey. Somewhat like the grey in bbg charcoal when it starts to catch. Is this normal for radiation treatment, or is some set wrong with the treatment
