Just asking if anyone who has radiotherapy for rectal cancer has experienced a pain down their left hand side. Consultant is flummoxed, his words not mine. I have had another CT scan with contrast this weekend however after to wait for results, don’t know when because of the bank holiday. I am concerned whether the radiotherapy has caused something else. Thanks
