Hi Pat and Walt, I just finished rad and chemofor a very simimilar diag. It will be at the bottom of this post. Everyone here is very helpful. For me I had trouble balancing between constipation and diarhea as well. I am having more trouble now that I started taking the pain medicine. I just wanted to tell you this gets uncomfortable but you can do it. I had alot of people praying really hard for me day in and day out and it seemed to make the first half of this little journey quite bearable. Me and my family will add you to our prayer lists and be cheering you on from our home. :-) Lee
