Hello all! Hope everyone is doing well. We’ve chatted in here before about hip pain and I just wanted to ask again how everyone’s getting on? Post treatment (last year) it was particularly bad after the radiation. My right hip just wouldn’t co-operate...
Hi Ladies Looking for some wisdom & reassurance. Was prescribed dilators to start using 2-4 weeks post treatment. However feeling fully healed took me longer & I’ve been struggling with my mental health (which predates but not helped obviously by all...
Hi I was just looking for anyone who has had a similar experience to what is happening to me. I had an APR due to rectal cancer six years ago and which healed really well and has not given me any bother. The scar was soft and flat. On the weekend...
Hello everybody, Beth (Jester) here after a long absence. I felt in a lot of ways I didn't want to post because my experience seems so awful I didn't want to scare people just starting their treatment. I finished chemo/radio on 2nd January 2023 and...

Hey everyone, it’s been a while so thought I’d check in, lifes been busy, fun and exhausting all rolled into one, I’m back at work 2 days a week which I’m loving and things are mostly good. i met with a psychologist yesterday who really made me feel...
Morning all, hope I haven’t offended anyone with the title but it’s very appropriate to how I am feeling this morning. I am having a TRANSVAGINAL ULTRASOUND this morning and just looked up what it involves. Didn’t realise they do it via a vaginal probe...
Hi, I seem to find myself coming back here when I get myself in a panic. I'm 4 1/2 years post treatment and have various side effects still now and again. Right now though I'm experiencing terrible itching again around my anus and it just pings my head...
