Anal cancer

I’m currently having 2 weeks of radiotherapy and suffering just about every side effect there is-feeling sorry for myself too. I’ve already had 2x6 months of chemo.
Has anyone else suffered with passing urine almost every hour-particularly during the night? I’m sure I would feel better if I could get a decent night’s sleep

Thank you

Hello Oakwood51

You are absolutely entitled to feel sorry for yourself, especially as some people really suffer severe side effects and very unfortunately you seem to be one of those. Pelvic radiotherapy can play havoc with your bowels and waterworks by causing inflammation, but that said, I would always advise telling a member of the team treating you about your symptoms. You could have a urine infection that needs additional meds.

Having disturbed nights is the worst and I do hope you get help to ease this.

Please let us know how you get on

Big hug

Irene xx
