Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
I am glad you are fine. Stool colour may be changed from several weeks to few months depending on intensity of radiation and size of tumor. However,the colour for itself is not a problem. It is important that there is no pain,rapid weight loss and and vomiting. You should eat more boiled food,high fibre vegetables and adequate fluid amount. Wish you good health.
