Hi all, I just wanted to share my experience with you all regarding my first proper holiday since treatment. The day we left I was so nervous about leaving my comfort zone being the bathroom! I was visualising having to stand around for long periods and then needing the toilet. My husband is really supportive but thinks i sometimes overreact and I think he just doesn’t understand. But every thing was fine. Two days in on the boat I had diarrhoea but luckily we were at sea and the ship has numerous toilets. The food was fantastic and they catered for all diets. I completely stayed off the sweets 85% of the time but did have a couple of luxury ice creams as you cannot go to Italy and not have ice cream. As the days went on I gained much more confidence and didn’t live around anal cancer. It is part of moving back to normal as much as I can regarding diet and dealing with bowel issues. One day I didn’t go at all and then start to panic that I’m going to pay for it the next day. Imodium used a couple of times but mostly fine. We did return with covid but what us lot have been through that was hardly anything for me.
