My husband has lower rectal cancer and one of the worst things he is experiencing a lot of heat at the site of the tumour
He has tried sitting on a cool pillow but wondered if anyone else had also experienced this and any ideas how to ease it? Thanks
Hi ,
I can’t offer any advice on this I’m afraid as it’s something I didn’t experience, you could try asking the question in the Bowel (colon and rectal) cancer forum or maybe Ask a Nurse. Hopefully someone will be able to offer you some advice soon.
Nicola
