Week one over

Well done week one is over. I couldn’t sit in a bath as too painful and sitz I just used warm water and flamigel & Cavillon barrier cream for after.  I am 10 weeks post RT and now use diprobase for my skin (age related and side effects) x keep resting, bathing and talking to your med team as getting things in place to suit what you need is important don’t struggle week days or weekends use the help lines and don’t wait x sending love and care Angie 

Hi P22

I haven't been using a sitz bath but I have occasionally put epsom salts in the bath, I just used some from grapetree. I'm using E45 and flamigel. Well done on getting through week 1. Xx

I’m feeling anxious- starting my treatment on Monday. I’ve spent the last 2 weeks visiting as many friends as possible. Subconsciously I think it’s because I’m never going to be the same again after this and I want them to remember me as I am now.

It's natural to feel anxious I was. You will be the same, you just have to get through a few months and then get back to your life. Xx

Thank you. I don’t feel as alone after joining this forum- and yes I know it’s all a small sacrifice for what hopefully will be a cancer free future.

This is such a normal reaction.  Let your friends help you through and hopefully you will be out the other side before you know it. It goes surprisingly quickly.
