Radiation cystitis/bowel problems. Help please.

Less than one minute read time.

I have been treated successfully for cervical cancer with combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy and internal radiotherapy. My problem one year on is bowel damage which Ive been experiencing since the treatment ended but which I seem to be "managing" better than I did initially. However recently have developed "radiation cystitis" Just wondered if anyone had any "tips" they could pass on for either of these conditions. Im not very good at asking for help and having been given the "all clear" for cancer feel i should just get on with it. Could do with a little support so if anyone out there identifies with me Id be pleased to hear from you. Im a 56 year old retired psychiatric nurse. Good at helping others but it appears not very good at helping myself!  Maggie
