I just had my11th radiation of pelvic area for anal cancer. My stomach has been churning and feeling sore all day and night lately. I seem to wake up at 4:00-5:00 with a gut ache and severe headache, then proceed to need the toilet multiple times. This goes on for several hours every morning until afternoon. Lately my radiation appointments have been 1:00 so I can somehow pull myself together by then but worry now because my time has been changed to 10:15-10:30. I have no idea how I'm going to be able to calm myself down enough to clean up, make the drive and be able to lay on that table without being sick.
Anyone else having this trouble?
