Hello
I'm 9 days into recovery period from the radiotherapy and chemotherapy tablets. My groin skin appears to be easier in the last couple of days apart from stinging on urination but manage with the water bath to ease it. However the pain in my back passage is not good , normally have a good pain threshold but honestly this is something else. I'm taking the oxycodone and paracetamol but doesn't appear to have much effect.
I take heart knowing that this is a normal situation for most people who have been through this process. I am normally a very active and independent person and just feel so helpless at moment, missing doing things although my poor husband is trying hard to help me . I appreciate it's a small price to pay to become well from the cancer
I note that a few people have used epsom salts or salt to soak the area but my cancer nurse said not to use at the moment. I keep hopeful next few days may see the peak and begin to improve .
Thanks for all the posts with support and tips , really glad to find this group.
Enjoy the sunshine
