Question
Thank you for answering my first question. You mentioned that my husband should investigate the rectum tone. His rectum was not removed during cancer surgery. You mentioned that he might have a radiated colon. What is this? He has a colonoscopy scheduled, but he wants to make sure he asks the correct questions.
It is a pity you did not send this as a follow up to your previous question. I am now answering so many questions so that it is hard to keep track of previous questions unless those who ask them help me in this way. Please repeat this your question but add also your previous question and my reply to it and I'll try to help you.
