Hi my lovely friend is going through 4 weeks of chemo radiotherapy for rectal cancer. The chemo seems to be going well, but she is in agony with the radiation damage to surrounding tissues. Maxed out on morphine/ using cushion/ short baths/ice etc but no relief at all. Has a lot of leaking as well which is really hurting. Anyone any experience/ideas what we can do please? I'm a nurse but not a cancer nurse and feel lost looking out for her.
