Since have radiotherapy and chemotherapy I have a burning feeling inside my bottom, they given me foam to insert twice a day which hasn’t helped. 

it’s been over a year and I still have urgency to go the bathroom and I’ve had a few accidents. Does anyone have similar and if you do, is there any medication you take that helps. 

Thank  you x

  • Hello  

    I am Brian, one of the Community Champions here at Macmillan. I have noticed your post has gone unanswered. I can't answer it myself as I have a different cancer, however by me replying your post will be "bumped up" to the top of the page and I hope seen and answered by other members of the Bowel Group.

    As it's a medical question, have you thought about asking one of our nurses? Here's the link you need:

    Ask a Nurse 

    I do hope you get some answers to this issue.

    Best wishes - Brian.
