Treatment Completed

Fantastic news Adele, well done.

Just try to be gentle with yourself, and treat your body kindly. Soon you will start to heal. 

What a great day. I wish you health and recovery.

Keep posting as you get better, it is supportive and really helpful to everyone.

Great news just remember it does t last forever I'd say 3 weeks then itstarts getting better focus on that take care xx

Well done Adele !!! The next few weeks are all about recovery so be sure to take good care of yourself and plenty of rest x

i know that the relief is absolutely overwhelming when treatment ends, and so well done for getting through this.  And please don't be a hero if you need pain relief, I had it by the bucket load at the end of treatment as the sores were really painful, as was opening my bowels.  If you do take any of the opioids just remember they cause constipation so take Laxido or similar at the same time. 

It is all behind you now - literally!

Hi Adele

Great milestone to get past - I am 10 days ahead and was truly shocked how much pain relief I needed. And had to manage myself with strict timings or the pain got worse. My pain was and still is front to back 24 hours a day and really only gget it under control when starting slow release morphine with oramorph, paracetamol and ibuprofen and every other day a mild laxative.  I have hardly eaten except soft pasta and biscuits as felt so sick with pain.

There is little evidence based guidance for this part from a medics point of view and each of us are different.  I have a high pain threshold but was screaming from the bathroom day and night and the thought of you coping with no meds is beyond me x 

What ever your reason work something out with your team as their job is to keep your pain at bay And we don’t need anyone hurting when they don’t need to - good luck x Angie x 

Great news , congrats for getting through the treatments 

I have 7 treatments left and have started to use the sitz bath daily to cleanse it really does give a few moments of relief 

hope your next few weeks recovery are ok x
