Yep. But the cancer invaded my sacrum and crushed L5, S1,2,3 nerve roots. My ability to empty my bladder and bowel is affected. And the wierd thing is that is is getting worse. I now need rectal stimulation to move my bowels. Could it be from radiation treatment? The Chemo can cause dysautonomia - that is where the "automatic Nervous system" , that keeps you breathing, heart beating, etc can really affect other automatic symptoms, like parts of swallowing, moving bowels, passing urine, stabilizine blood pressure. Dysautonomia International has a wonderful web site for things like this and it is for patients!
