  •  Hello bigbadbazzajunior,

                 have you told your doctors of this, because they need to know immediatly..Its highly likely that these black spots through your poo is stale blood from bleeding in your bowel,Stale blood presents as black unlike red fresh blood, making your stools look like spotted dick. It was exactly this that alerted me to my Bowel cancer diagnosis.

     In your case it might be being caused by the radiotherapy so you need to make them aware at your next treatment
