Comments on the symptoms he developed after external beam radiation.

 



At this stage I'm beginning to develop one or two symptoms and the main symptom is that the back passage is bleeding which I understand is quite a normal thing, and passing motions becomes very sore and quite unpleasant and I would imagine perhaps like someone has got very bad piles and the bleeding associated with the piles was very much the experience that I was having. It was important at that stage to keep myself particularly loose because otherwise it was excruciating if I didn't eat lots of fruit, roughage things like that, to make sure that I could pass motions easily. That was one aspect of it.
