I finished 5 sessions of SBRT last February. For several weeks after treatment, I experienced the usual symptoms associated with radiation proctitis: bloated, gassy, frequent urge to poop, blood in stool. After that, the problem resolved and I haven't had any other symptoms since, until the past 4-5 days, during which I've been experiencing some similar symptoms, but not quite as severe. At first I thought it was something that I ate, but today I noticed a small amount of blood in my stool. Is it typical to have a recurrence of these symptoms over a year out from treatment and will it eventually resolve on its own?
Thanks in advance your help.
