Just wanted to say hello and look forward to all the information that’ll me through day to day. 

  • Hi there, welcome.

    You've come to the right place for information and support, we are a group with a lot of different experiences. Were there any specific aspects of AC you were looking for info about?

  • Thank you!

    The side effects of radiation. Incontinence, and hip pain. I feel like instead of getting better, it’s getting worse. It’s very hard emotionally. 

  • There are a couple of people on here who have recently been discussing hip issues so hopefully they will see your post, and .

    Are you still having these issues after 10 years? It might be worth making an appointment with your GP and having a review; it's a long time if you are still suffering.

    I have recently read here there are clinics in some hospitals which deal with long term side effects of radiotherapy. Macmillan might be able to help, or Cancer Research UK. Sorry not to be of more help xxx

  • No. Don’t be sorry. I really appreciate any feedback I can get. I still see my gastroenterologist at MD Anderson and we have discussed everything regarding my stomach and he is at a loss. I even tried the sphincter stimulator and that didn’t work.
