Management of side effects

So sorry to hear your mum in so much pain..

Have the hospital gave here and oramorph?  May be worth asking and also maybe movicol to soften her bowel movements...as the morphine can make more constipated.

I drank lots of orange barley water throughout the day which kept me from being constipated..and I also used a sitz bath when the pain was to great...

Hopefully all the other amazing members on here will give you additional advice  x

Hisp1993233875 Sorry your mum is struggling. I cut green veg on the advice of the radiotherapists as i had bad wind pain from the start and it helped. I basically lived on cheese and marmite on toast. With regards to pain relief i took paracetamol at regular intervals all the way through as directed, i also used instillagel that i got from the hospital it does sting when you apply it but then everything goes numb for roughly half hour before it starts wearing off. I also had flaminal, flamigel hydro and forte creams which seemed to soothe things a bit. I was told i could have laxido (think that was what it was called) for constipation but i never used it but ive seen others on here have. If you tell your mums team they should provide her with pain relief and will be able to prescribe strong stuff if needed. Sending hugs to your mum and you. Xx
