Hi, new to this group but pleased to be part of it. I finished a 5 day course of radiotherapy for rectal tumour 6 weeks ago but still very sore in my anal region. I was prescribed Flamigel RT by my GP but not sure how long I should carry on using it? I keep trying different creams, E45, Sudocrem but not sure which is best. Is it normal to still be sore 6 weeks later? Any suggestions would be welcome!
