Hi
As someone heading for his 75th birthday, and who has suffered from a number of medical conditions for over 20 years, (I already receive PIP for care and mobility), the recent diagnosis of rectal cancer threw me a fair bit. Following 3 successful Papillon treatments at Guildford, and 5 short Radiotherapy sessions at the Kent Oncology centre, I am trying to come to terms or better understand the side effects that I seem to be experiencing. The MacMillan team is pleased with my progress so far, but being up all night responding to my body's instructions to visit the bathroom for the last 3 weeks, is taking a bit of getting used to, as does genuine visits to the loo (solid matter departure time) from about 5:30am until about 10 in the morning. I get the feeling that these events need to be embraced as part of my daily routines and I need to adjust my lifestyle accordingly. I'm not getting the feeling that such things will disappear completely
Does anyone share a similar experience here? I would appreciate any helpful hints (or even crystal ball predictions at this point)
Many thanks
