Hi everyone! I’m 5 weeks post treatment, the first week was horrendous but then I started to turn the corner, and I’ve been using the lovely plastic pink friends!!! I’m on the 3rd size up now. I’ve tried to have sex twice in the past 2 weeks but it’s way too painful still ! The past few days my side effects from treatment have started to return, mainly the pain of going for a wee?! Has anyone else had this? My skin around my bikini line is growing back and looking healthy which I’m pleased about. I’m also suffering with lots of hot flushes and night sweats has anyone else had these? I’m 48 so guessing the treatment has triggered the menopause?

Hello Bosshogg

I am really pleased that you are out the other side and things have improved. If your loo symptoms don't improve I would get checked out to make sure that you don't have a urine infection which are apparently very common during and after radiotherapy.

I was way past the menopause when I had treatment so that was one side effect I didn't have, fortunately but there are quite a few ladies on here in your age group, I am hoping they pick up on your post and help.

Good luck with the pink plastic, apparently silicone ones are far more comfortable and easy to use!
