My father is 72 and was diagnosed with rectal cancer, T2N1, he just had 2 sessions of radiotherapy along with capecitabine tablets, in the morning and evening.
25 sessions of radiotherapy along with the tablets to go (5x a week), so by the first week of February it is finished, afterwards he needs to wait 8 weeks and repeat the scan to see if it has disappeared or go to surgery.
He is very positive and engaged for the treatments, but I am scared, of the side effects he might experience and how I can help him to go through this journey the best way.
Any guidance or share of your experiences would be greatly appreciated.
