Fistula between bladder/bowel after radiation therapy

[Guest guest]

Hello!

My father had his prostate removed approximately 3 years ago. He had radiation

therapy after that and is still on hormone therapy. He developed a Fistula

between the bladder and the bowel after radiation therapy. They've tried many

things but nothing seems to work (antibiotics, cortisone, colostomy, catheter,

etc.). Anybody have this problem ? What can be done ?
