Guest guest Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Hello all; I had an RP done in June, and my PSA when down from 61.3 to 0.1 3 months later. Then it started to rise, first to 0.4 then to 0.7. The uro sent me to a rad/onc, and they decided that I needed to get on Eligard (3 month shots), and get IMRT. I am now beginning my 5th week of radiation, and all doesn't seem well. The docs don't seem to think much about it other than it can be some of the side effects. Maybe it's true, maybe not. He is my problem. I have been having severe intestinal cramps and for the past week or so, and bleeding from my rectum. The first time it was bright red and covered most of the toilet paper. Since then, it is more included in my feces, which by the way is almost nil, and I have to go to the toilet several times in the morning now, with very little results, and the mostly present little 'pods' of blood. Mostly dark, starting to dry blood. Is this normal, or am I having something else going on inside me now? I am getting a bit concerned, and would like other folks inputs to help me talk with the doc about it. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
