Radiation side effects prostate cancer

Posted , 3 users are following.

My husband had a radical prostatectomy and is now half way thru 40 radiation treatments. He is experiencing severe burning of the rectum, along with diarrhea . I've researched this and it's not a rare occurrence. Preparation H and medicated wipes really don't seem to help much.

Is there anything that can give him some relief????
