I’ve just started week 2 of radiotherapy and I’m already experiencing pain in my bottom and vaginal area, mostly when needing to poop but also when moving from sitting to standing. It reminds me of the days after childbirth.

Has anyone else experienced this and found anything to help? I have my first oncologist clinic today so will mention then, but I’m so worried that I’m experiencing this pain so early on and that it's only going to get worse.

Hi Chrissie,

I’m starting to have the opposite problem with my bowel movements but neither situation is ideal is it? I hope your team are able to offer you some help?

Slowly counting down the days now. 2 weeks today,I won’t be making my daily trip to the hospital ! It’s true that the days go quite quickly and it will be over before you know it.
